This thoroughly updated second edition includes a new preface and expands the discussion of the surprising role that slavery has played in the history of rights. It includes new material on egalitarianism, distributive justice and what the demand for equal rights means.

This book is the first detailed reconstruction of the late work of John Rawls. It focuses on Rawls's presentation of two regime types capable of realizing 'justice-as-fairness': property-owning democracy and liberal socialism. Long mistaken as an apologist for welfare-state capitalism, Rawls emerges here as an understated advocate of socialism.
