BioRead  Justice between the Young and the Old Currently matters of health and social care, recession and the ageing population seem to dominate headlines. Trying to do more with less is an ongoing aim of public policy, yet trying to do this in a way that is fair is a more difficult task. Thus, developing our thinking around the question of justice is vitally important and deserves our long term attention and thought. In his new book Dennis McKerlie, a scholar who has devoted three decades to this topic, explores justice between age–groups with the aim of developing a new theory of justice which can help guide and inform debate in this arena and ultimately help form new solutions to the problems we face. |
