Abstract

This paper was part of a roundtable discussion of Joseph Fishkin's book "Bottlenecks: A New Theory of Equal Opportunity" at the 2014 Midwest Political Science Association Conference. In the review I encourage Fishkin to recognize the rich perfectionism underlying his bottleneck theory of equal opportunity and to say more about how society should determine which bottlenecks are most appropriate to target.

Keywords: employment discrimination, equal opportunity, political theory
