Despite their considerable appeal, these notions nowadays underwrite an orientation towards public policy that is both inadequate and beneficial to elite interests; an orientation that constitutes a distinct American Ideology. To make this case, Levine traces the history of the concept of efficiency, from Hobbes, through the utilitarian tradition, to contemporary economic and philosophical paradigms; and examines the strengths and weaknesses of the democratic theory implicit in John Rawls's pioneering work on justice and political legitimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936367345952,"sku":"NEW0415945496","price":308.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-american-ideology-a-critique-pathways-through-the-twenty-first-century-0415945496","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
