- Sets out this prize-winnng author's vision of what social justice means, explaining why it must have universal scope or is worth nothing.
- Strongly attacks New Labour, as well as most contemporary political philosophy.
- Argues that the present period is a time of opportunity to be seized, brought about by the increasing instability of the international economic and political order and by growing opposition to the selfish short-sightedness of the world's richest countries.
- Outlines the implications for the obligations of the present generation to future ones and the distribution of resources within the world as a whole.
