Which Equalities Matter? Reviews

a In this important intervention, Anne Phillips, with her customary clarity, reconnects the case for political and economic equality without sacrificing the political recognition of difference. It may not be a fashionable argument, but it is one which needs to be read and debated widely in the face of entrenched inequalities of material and political resources.a Ruth Lister, University of Loughborough a Anne Phillips has done it again! Which Equalities Matter? is at once a major theoretical contribution and a salutory political intervention.a Nancy Fraser, New School for Social Research a In an age of growing inequality, Anne Phillips has written a timely and important book: a politically engaged, theoretically sophisticated, energetic and circumstantial argument for reversing the trend. Egalitarianism finds here a wonderfully lively and skilful defender.a Michael Walzer, Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton 'An important new book.a The Guardian a [A] welcome contribution to current debates.a Journal of European Area Studies
