Kjell Törnblom has taught at universities in Sweden, the United States, and Canada and is currently affiliated to the Transdisciplinarity Lab at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich. He has published research on social justice, resource theory, conflict, intergroup relations, theory integration, and co-edited three books including the Handbook of Social Resource Theory and Resource Theory, as well as six special issues of Social Justice Research. Kjell was awarded a Distinguished Alumni Award by the University of Missouri. He is currently co-editor-in-chief (with Ali Kazemi) for Social Justice Research since 2010 and a member of the International Society for Justice Research Executive Board.Ali Kazemi is Professor of Work and Organizational Psychology at University West, Sweden, where he also serves as the director of the research center for positive organizational studies. He has published more than hundred articles, book chapters, technical reports, and books in various branches of psychology. He has edited several volumes in English and Swedish and is the co-author of Management in Retailing, nominated as the best HR book of 2013 in Sweden. He serves as ad hoc reviewer for several academic journals and is since 2011 the Co-Editor-in-Chief for Social Justice Research.

I have found this masterpiece to be a treasure of brilliant innovative ideas about an old topic: social exchange theory. The book presents important insights that add depth to this theory.
