"Books that cast a long-running philosophical dispute in a fresh light are rare, but Distributive Justice and Disability is one of them. It is important, not only for what it says about justice for people with disabilities, but also for the way it transforms the debate about utilitarianism and egalitarianism."―Peter Singer, Princeton University
“Distributive Justice and Disability is an engaging, smart, and insightful book on a topic of social importance. Mark Stein’s arguments are controversial and interesting, and his treatment is illuminating and helpful.”―Anne L. Alstott, Jacquin D. Bierman Professor of Taxation, Yale Law School, and author of No Exit: What Parents Owe Their Children and What Society Owes Parents
“Distributive Justice and Disability offers a powerful brief for a utilitarian theory of distributive justice over its most prominent rival, egalitarianism. Mark Stein’s arguments are always pellucid and thoroughly engaging, and he handles the densest work of others with remarkable acuity. Bioethicists and political theorists will find this work invaluable.”―Ellen Frankel Paul, Professor of Political Science and Philosophy, and Deputy Director, Social Philosophy and Policy Center, Bowling Green State University
“Mark Stein has written a thoughtful and impressive book that makes an important contribution to utilitarian moral philosophy.”―Julia Driver, Professor of Philosophy, Dartmouth College, and author of Uneasy Virtue
“Distributive Justice and Disability wrestles with many difficult and contentious issues, but Mark Stein has a talent for taking very complicated ideas and relating them in a clear and accessible manner. The author engages an important topic, one that promises to become even more timely over the coming years.”―Grant Reeher, Associate Professor of Political Science and Senior Research Associate, Center for Policy Research, Syracuse University
