Much of contemporary social and political theory has reduced the concept of desert to a minor role. The work of John Rawls is the prime example. Recently some philosophers have argued that the notion merits a more central place in social and political theory. This reader brings together opposing positions and arguments, thus stimulating debate over the meaning and significance of desert in contemporary thought. The book includes eight classical and twenty-two contemporary readings on the concept.

"An excellent anthology. Its selections will serve, I hope, to introduce students to the Rawlsian controversy once they have read Rawls, and to appreciate the role of desert more broadly. The readings seem nicely blended in degree of difficulty for students of varying backgrounds."--Louis Guenin, Harvard Medical School "Extremely well balanced and judicious choices. All major positions are well represented."--Allen Howard Podet, Buffalo State College "Very interesting approach to moral philosophy--almost a looking-glass approach to virtue ethics."--Manuel Davenport, Texas A&M University
