'By exploring the integral relationship between democracy and economic justice, this study explains how democratic countries with market systems should deal with the problem of high levels of income-inequality. The book provides an interdisciplinary approach that combines political, economic, and legal theory. It also analyzes the nature of economic society and the considerations bearing upon the ethics of relative pay, such as the nature of individual contributions and the extent of community' (Cambridge University Press Web site). 'Zucker's book is of particular interest for its methodological structure, which allows the author to deal with issues now at the center of the debate.The wide scope of the analysis provided by the method adopted allows the author to deal with many significant perspectives: from Locke to Marx, from Keynes to Rawls and Dworkin, from the communitarians to Dahl.The book has the merit of demonstrating, by contrast to the view of modern economic theory, that capital-based market systems are characterized by a dimension of community on a systemwide scale and that democracy necessarily involves rule in accord with redistributory property rights. Distributive justice is a crucial problem both from a theoretical and a practical point of view in a renewed democracy willing to go beyond the persistent liberal model derived from Locke' (Thomas Casadei, Ratio Juris: An International Journal of Jurisprudence and Philosophy of Law).

'This integrated study of law, economics and Peircian semiotics re-examines the relationship between law and market theory, and introduces the idea of law and market economy. Overcoming the traditional dichotomy between efficiency and justice, Malloy focuses on the relationship between creativity, entrepreneurism, and sustainable wealth formation. he shows how creativity and sustainable wealth formation have more to do with an ethic of social responsibility than with a concern for economic efficiency. In presenting his case, Malloy uses numerous examples as he reinterprets classic problems related to rational choice, the Coase Theorem, public choice, efficient breach, social contract theory, and wealth maximization, among others' (Cambridge University Press Web site).
