"A brilliant polemic against inequality." Roy Hattersley, The Guardian "Barrya s pugnacious defence of a robust social democracy deserves to find a wide readership ... for disillusioned social democrats, Why Social Justice Matters stands as a refreshingly staunch and intelligent manifesto." New Statesman "Barrya s writing is extremely engaging. His arguments are supported by a wide range of examples and illustrations and an impressive breadth of scholarship." Ethics and Social Welfare "This book is a powerful argument against the utter inequity of the current political and economic system in the UK and against the way in which a discourse of 'equal opportunities' is used to maintain what Barry describes as the 'machinery of injustice'.

British Journal of Sociology "Barry persuasively argues that differentials in positional goods allow the rich to have better personal health due to higher self--esteem, better access to more fulfilling jobs due to a wealth of social connections, and greater ability to capture the government and use it to secure their own interests."
