Author Notes

Justice : What's the Right Thing to Do?

In Justice, Michael J. Sandel-perhaps the most prominent college professor in America (Michael Gerson, The Washington Post)-relates the big questions of political philosophy to the most vexing issues of our time. He helps us think our way through such hotly contested issues as Wall Street bailouts, immigration, the role of markets, national service, affirmative action, same-sex marriage, and the place of religion in politics, as well as the personal ethical questions we confront in our everyday lives. Justice invites readers of all ages and political persuasions on a fascinating journey of moral reflection, and shows how reasoned debate can illuminate democratic life.
