scope:

In this path-breaking book, the authors confront foundational issues about health and justice. How much inequality in health can a just society toerate? In a world filled with inequalities in health and well-being, which inequalities matter most and are the most morally urgent to address? To answer these questions, the authors develop a unique theory of social justice that, while developed for the specific contexts of public health and health policy, applies equally well to other realms of social policy, including education and economic development.
