Property-Owning Democracy cover

Property-Owning Democracy: Rawls and Beyond features a collection of original essays that represent the first extended treatment of political philosopher John Rawls' idea of a property-owning democracy.

  • Offers new and essential insights into Rawls's idea of "property-owning democracy"
  • Addresses the proposed political and economic institutions and policies which Rawls's theory would require
  • Considers radical alternatives to existing forms of capitalism
  • Provides a major contribution to debates among progressive policymakers and activists about the programmatic direction progressive politics should take in the near future

"In this very instructive, wide-ranging, and most welcome volume, Martin O'Neill and Thad Williamson have assembled fourteen thoughtful essays and a substantial introduction which together explore its meaning and history, and the prospects of its implementation. The book has a great deal to interest political philosophers and theorists, political scientists, political economists, and reflective political activists on the left."  (Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, 8 July 2013)
