Justice

I just finished reading Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? a book by Harvard professor Michael Sandel. If you're interested in brushing up on your political philosophy, and learning about a number of frameworks for confronting tough moral questions, you'll love this book. Sandel uses real-world stories and examples to tease out where we stand on many present day hot-button topics.

For a teaser on the book see http://www.justiceharvard.org/

I should probably check the book out. I actually saw his loooooong TED talk here:

Not sure if you guys watch TED talks, but if not you should (www.ted.com). I'll post a couple of my favorites in the coming week.
