Review of 'Justice' on 'Goodreads'

This is one of the most enlightening books I have ever read. Full of important discussions based on real experiences of social struggles to make hard decisions, this book is thought provoking. I only wished more and more people understood how hard it is to make sense of justice in such a globalize world.
