Recensione:
Fairness, Responsibility, and Welfare offers various important insights into the seemingly complex topic of distributive implications of holding people partly responsible for their achievements...the content of the book is easily attainable for a broader audience...it will be one of the more important references for both economists and philosophers working in the field of distributive justice. (Lars Schwettmann Journal of Social Choice and Welfare)
Inquiries such as Fleurbaey's, which employ both formal and philosophical methods to explore distributional principles, are of great importance from all three perspectives. Fairness, Responsibility, and Welfare is essential reading for serious egalitarians. (Daniel M. Hausman, Ethics)
Fleurbaey's monograph is a paradigmatic masterpiece for the fruitful combination of philosophy and the axiomatic method in an area of highest interest for the social sciences. (Andreas Tutic, Rationality, Markets and Morals)
Impressive...an excellent contribution to the field of distributive justice (Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen, Economics and Philosophy)
Fleurbaey's book is clearly written and successfully communicates to a broad audience while not sacrificing rigor. It provides a thorough account of the most recent developments in social choice theory at the same time as contributing innovations which develop this area in a beautiful and important way. (John Roemer, Elizabeth S. and A. Varick Professor of Political Science and Economics, Yale University)
The role of personal responsibility is important for the foundations of justice, but the subject has not received the critical investigation it deserves. In this book, Marc Fleurbaey has gone a long distance in meeting this gap. This is a deeply illuminating contribution on a neglected aspect of welfare economics. (Amartya Sen, Thomas W. Lamont University Professor and Professor of Economics and Philosophy, Harvard, and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics 1998)
