500			_aThe ancient drama of a just society has inspired countless men and women down the ages. Sometimes emerging in the spontaneous rebellion of of ordinary people against people, sometimes led by far-sighted statesmen or philosophers, sometimes manifested in a new religion or expressed in a new law: the search recurs throughout history, undeterred by cynicism or failure. All these struggles - the achievements as well as the failures - have become part of the collective heritage of mankind. This fascinating book, packed with information, tells the story of that common cultural heritage and describes the provisions in place today and the options facing mankind in the 1990's. What do we , in the last decade of the twentieth century mean by a just society? Where do we go from here? There are questions which must be answered if the peoples and nations of the world are to rise to the challenges before them and seize the opportunities now being offered on an unprecedented scale to achieve that age-old dream: the coming of the just society
