"One of the many merits of Debating Equal Pay for All, edited by Anders Örtenblad, is that it recasts EPP from its traditional role. ... Debating Equal Pay for All works as an excellent introduction for those unfamiliar with EPP in addition to those who are looking for new perspectives in the just pay debate ... .  Overall, it is a balanced and nuanced addition to a debate that tends to lack the aforementioned characteristics." (Alexander Andersson, Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, Vol. 24, 2021)
"The book offers many different views and perspectives by experts from a wide array of disciplines. It is absolutely worthwhile reading for lawyers, philosophers, economists, social scientists, and policymakers alike." (Matteo Fornasier, European Journal of Social Security, October 21, 202)
