Equality and Liberty / Equality of Liberty
The topic of distributive justice has until very recently been inadequately covered by
the fields of political philosophy and economics. Yet this subject is much more complex in
that it includes questions of identity, faith and ethnicity. Thus far the liberal-minded students
of political philosophy and economics, as well as post-colonial skeptics, have thrived in mutually
exclusive habitats; my interest is in developing a forum in which the two may debate and develop together.
I welcome people who find themselves constantly reflecting on such fundamental problems.

Economic Conditions of Contemporary Democracy
Welfare policy as a social policy aims to improve the welfare of individuals.
However, in application it is limited by across-the-board economic constraints,
while itself restricts the individual's values and achievement of goals.
The more we try to individualize welfare policy, the greater the fear that such
restrictions will intrude into aspects of the personal domain, such as lifestyle and morality.
With reference to relatively limited research, including histories of comparative systems and typology,
we attempt to reconstruct the welfare state image from the perspective of a normative theory of welfare policy.
