'Fausto Corvino's book is an original, engaging and enjoyable read. It is also erudite and wide-ranging. By bringing the extensive literatures on domination, distributive justice, and cosmopolitanism to bear on questions of commodification and structural economic deprivation, Corvino's argument complements and advances these debates. Moreover, his openness to disciplines other than philosophy, such as economic sociology, makes this book a valuable addition to contemporary interdisciplinary scholarship at the intersection of philosophy, economic sociology, and political science.' -- Nicholas Vrousalis, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands 'This clear and engaging book advances the debate by masterfully synthesizing several recent accounts of economic justice. Fausto Corvino argues that the world economy should be so organized that all can meet their basic needs without selling their labor power. With minimally adequate non-labor income for all, employment opportunities would be attractive enough to be freely embraced by workers who remain free to be unemployed. The world's elites are harming those who, under the global economic arrangements they uphold and benefit from, are compelled to work.' -- Thomas Pogge, Yale University, US
