Summary:

We live in a world where CEOs give themselves million pound bonuses even as their companies go bankrupt and ordinary workers are laid off; where athletes make millions while teachers struggle to survive; a world where rewards are often unfairly meted out. This book examines one of today's most pressing moral issues: how to distribute rewards and public recognition without damaging the social fabric.
