Reviews

Olson's book is exceptional, and is an exemplar of how analytic philosophy, done well, can yield important insights about matters of public policy, as well as more abstract issues of political principle. The monograph makes a major contribution not only to the literature on compensation for labor, but to the literature on distributive justice more generally. The book will be a 'must-read' for all professional philosophers working on distributive justice, and will also be of significant interest to those working in related fields like normative economics. * Jonathan Quong, University of Southern California *
