If You're an Egalitarian, How Come You're So Rich

"This is an unusual book, a remarkably successful blend of autobiography, intellectual history and moral philosophy that reflects the author's distinctive outlook and background....Cohen's historically self conscious reflection of the ideal of social and economic equality, and on the form in which that ideal can survive, once its Marxist version is recognized to be morally, politically and economically bankrupt, presents, I believe, the most important contemporary challenge to the egalitarian form of liberalism found in the work of John Rawls and others. The questions he asks are the ones we should all be worrying about."Cohen, G. A. is the author of 'If You're an Egalitarian, How Come You're So Rich ', published 2001 under ISBN 9780674006935 and ISBN 0674006933.
