G.A. Cohen was one of the most gifted influential & progressive voices in contemporary political philosophy. At the time of his death in 2009 he had plans to bring together a number of his most significant papers. This is the first of three volumes to realize those plans. Drawing on three decades of work it contains previously uncollected articles that have shaped many of the central debates in political philosophy as well as papers published here for the first time. In these pieces Cohen asks what egalitarians have most reason to equalize he considers the relationship between freedom & property & he reflects upon ideal theory & political practice. Included here are classic essays such as Equality of What?" & " Capitalism Freedom & the Proletariat" along with more recent contributions such as " Fairness & Legitimacy in Justice" " Freedom & Money" & the previously unpublished " How to Do Political Philosophy". On ample display throughout are the clarity rigor conviction & wit for which Cohen was renowned.
