This major philosophical work, by one of the world's leading public intellectuals, constructs a new theory of justice, not from abstract ideals or notions of what perfect institutions and rules might be, but from what the results of a system are practically, in the world.

Incredibly readable and lucid. Wonderful to see how it engages with mainstream ethical philosophy in the US while explaining and contrasting it with his own approach.
