Charles A. Washington’s Ensuring Justice, Fairness, and Inclusion in America: Managing Equity in the 21st Century (Parts 1-4)
Charles A. Washington’s Ensuring Justice, Fairness, and Inclusion in America: Managing Equity in the 21st Century is a groundbreaking guide to navigating and resolving the deeply entrenched issues that plague modern society. Far from a partisan diatribe or a dense academic treatise, this book is a practical manifesto—a user’s manual for realizing the democratic ideals enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
With the world overwhelmed by polarization, hyper-partisanship, inequality, and identity politics, Washington’s work answers the urgent call for actionable solutions. Drawing on John Rawls’ “Justice as Fairness” as its foundation, this book translates metaphysical principles into real-world applications. It does so through a Justice as Fairness Logic Model, which deciphers Rawls’ theories and integrates concepts from various disciplines. By operationalizing justice, Washington introduces “Equity Management,” a revolutionary system paired with the innovative, license-fee-free software “Plato.”
What sets this book apart is its multi-faceted approach. It is observational, diagnosing the scope of America’s challenges; prophylactic, offering preventative measures; and prognostic, providing a roadmap for systemic change. The practical application of Equity Management-Plato across six public sector environments showcases the potential for creating a truly level playing field.
Washington’s work is as visionary as it is pragmatic. It’s essential reading for anyone committed to fostering justice, fairness, and inclusion in America. This book not only identifies the problems but offers the tools to address them, making it a beacon of hope in tumultuous times.
