Reviews for The Ideal of Equality
'The editors are to be congratulated on having put together a collection of leading contributions to the debate about equality among political philosophers in recent years. A number of the pieces are quite hard to obtain, so their appearance is doubly welcome.' - Brian Barry, Columbia University
