Review Quotes
The idea that everyone should have enough plays an important role in everyday thought as well as the ongoing philosophical debate about what distributive justice demands. Just Enough provides a lucid and original analysis of the idea that also illuminates concrete questions about what we owe to children and members of other states.--Andrew Williams, ICREA Research Professor, Pompeu Fabra University
