Towards a Just Europe
«
Labareda’s book is a rare thing, combining sophisticated philosophical argumentation with concrete policy proposals (including a European minimum income and a harmonized corporate tax). There is no book published to date that is as successful at combining philosophical, empirical, and policy perspectives.

Labareda’s argument for distributive justice in the European Union combines a sober analysis of the Union’s institutional features with a bold vision of policies it ought to adopt in order to live up to its social commitments. A must read not only for political theorists but also for EU scholars and social policy actors.
Rainer Bauböck, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna
A novel and sophisticated defence of distributive justice in the European Union. Ambitious and nuanced, Labareda is sensitive to both matters of principle and empirical constraints. His book will be an excellent guide for both political theorists and policy-makers thinking about the future of Europe beyond the nation state.
Professor Lea Ypi, London School of Economics and Political Science
This highly original book constitutes one of the first attempts to examine the problem of distributive justice in the European Union in a systematic manner. Joao Labareda argues that the set of shared political institutions at EU level, including the European Parliament and the Court of Justice of the EU, generate democratic duties of redistribution among EU citizens.
