Martha C. Nussbaum Quotes About Giving

Quotes about: Giving

• Property rights can improve a woman's ability to stand up to violence in the home. You might think education and employment are important because they give women exit options, but property is as well.

• The EU might have become a large federal nation. But they would have had to do things differently.
