Free time is commonly assumed to be a matter of personal preference, a good that one chooses to have more or less of. Even if there is unequal access to free time, the cause and solution are presumed to lie with the resources of income and wealth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eFree Time\u003c\/em\u003e, Julie Rose argues that these views are fundamentally mistaken. First, Rose contends that free time is a resource, like money, that one needs in order to pursue chosen ends. Further, realising a just distribution of income and wealth is not sufficient to ensure a fair distribution of free time. Because of this, anyone concerned with distributive justice must attend to the distribution of free time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the basis of widely held liberal principles, Rose explains why citizens are entitled to free time—time not committed to meeting life's necessities and instead available for chosen pursuits. The novel argument that the just society must guarantee all citizens their fair share of free time provides principled grounds to address critical policy choices, including work hours regulations, Sunday closing laws, public support for caregiving, and the pursuit of economic growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDelving into an original topic that touches everyone, \u003cem\u003eFree Time\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates why all citizens have, in the words of early labour reformers, a right to \"hours for what we will.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000624693484,"sku":"9780691183442","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1821563482434.jpg?v=1763290607"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/julie-l-rose.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
