Human judgment and social policy : irreducible uncertainty, inevitable error, unavoidable injustice /

This work focuses on how social policy grows out of the policymaker's judgment about what to do, what can be done, and what ought to be? Answers necessarily emerge from human judgment, and from human error and the unavoidable uncertainty in the world.
