Consent works moral magic. Things that would otherwise be wrong to do to someone are, with that person's consent, made morally permissible. But what is consent, and how does it work? How can consent be conferred, invoked and revoked? Goodin offers a comprehensive philosophical account of the social practice of consent.

In this book, Robert Goodin identifies several fundamental mechanisms of structural injustice: social position, networks, language, social expectations and norms, reputation, and organization. Informed by a wide range of social sciences, he explores what all these mechanisms have in common, and shows what can reasonably be done to overcome them.
