Free and Equal

In this ambitious and uplifting debut, Daniel Chandler argues that the ideas of John Rawls - the twentieth century's greatest political philosopher - have the potential to transform society for the better, ending years of escalating inequality, democratic erosion, and culture wars. Taking Rawls's egalitarian liberalism as his starting point, Chandler makes the case for a reinvigorated, broad-based progressive politics, and develops a bold and achievable vision for a freer, fairer society.
