"Fleurbaey's book is clearly written and successfully communicates to a broad audience while not sacrificing rigor. It provides a thorough account of the most recent developments in social choice theory at the same time as contributing innovations which develop this area in a beautiful and important way". John Roemer, Elizabeth S. and A. Varick Professor of Political Science and Economics, Yale University "The role of personal responsibility is important for the foundations of justice, but the subject has not received the critical investigation it deserves.
In this book, Marc Fleurbaey has gone a long distance in meeting this gap. This is a deeply illuminating contribution on a neglected aspect of welfare economics". Amartya Sen, Thomas W.
