Happily, Justice in Society is not a work that throws around [these] weighty concepts with glib abandon. Nor does it try to neatly parcel them as straightforwardly divisible and definable propositions. ... In this respect Justice in Society is, refreshingly, a true discussion, with the reader left in many instances to draw their own conclusions based on arguments and well-selected statistics. The strength of this book is its targeted and precise discussion of issues highly relevant to the way our society is evolving. It is only a slender work but the arguments, or the questioning of assumptions , as the book states, is done with an impressive brevity given the breadth and complexity of the issues addressed. The principle, and the book, is salutary. ... In this respect, a book that poses the question of justice and provokes an answer, instead of delivering it, is to be applauded.
