She then analyzes the philosophical arguments for and against lottery distribution and a comparison of \"justice by lottery\" with other contemporary theories of justice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Goodwin also applies her theory to practical problems in the real world which could be-or have been-justly resolved by the use of lotteries, such as military drafts, jury duty, and immigration eligibility. She demonstrates that in many areas, including that of political power, a regular and random reallocation of goods would be a fairer and more democratic method than the distributive systems found in liberal democracies today.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarbara Goodwin\u003c\/b\u003e is reader in political philosophy in the Department of Government at Brunel University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9.06 x 5.88 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 1992\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51754048389408,"sku":"9780226303956","price":66.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/ed9172b38e3a893532308233dce9e354.webp?v=1780032273","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/justice-by-lottery-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
