Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Intergenerational Equity and Sustainability
John E. Roemer · 2007
52/100
👎 Skip It
A credible edited academic volume on distributive justice across generations, with serious economists and philosophers contributing — but with only around 42 citations in the scholarly literature, even its academic impact is modest. Graduate-level welfare economics and formal theory lock out everyone except specialists, and the Finance category label does not fit this book at all.
