Download or read book Need Based Distributive Justice written by Stefan Traub and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the foundations and potential of a theory of need-based distributive justice, supported by experimental evidence. The core idea is that need-based distributive justice may have some legitimatory advantages over other important principles of distribution, like equality and equity, and therefore involves less dispute over the distribution and redistribution of scarce resources. In seven chapters, eleven scholars from the fields of philosophy, psychology, sociology, political science and economics outline the normative and positive building blocks of such a theory by critically reviewing the literature on distributive justice from their respective disciplinary perspectives. They address important theoretical and practical issues concerning the rationality of needs identification at the individual level and the recognition of needs at the societal level. They also investigate whether and how the dynamics of distribution procedures that allocate resources according to the need principle leads to social stability, focusing on the economic incentives that arise from need-based redistribution. The final chapter provides a synthesis and outlines a framework for a theory of justice based on ten hypotheses derived from the insights presented.

Book excerpt: Monsignor John Augustine Ryan was a leading moral theologian, priest, professor, author, and social justice advocate. Ryan lived during a decisive moment in the development of Catholic social teaching within the United States. The largest influx of immigrants in America's history, the emancipation of American slaves, and the industrial revolution had produced a new social climate in the early twentieth century, and the Church faced increasing pressure to take a stance on questions of social reform. Drawing upon Aristotelian notions of natural law ethics, Ryan outlines a very contemporary liberal concept of the just distribution of profit in relation to contribution, merit, and special talents.

This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to systematically and comprehensively discuss the fairness of the industrial product distribution process. Since products are actually distributed among landlords, capitalists, merchants, and laborers, the moral aspects of distribution are studied with reference to these four classes. Although their rights and obligations constitute the main theme of this book, they have also worked hard to put forward reform proposals to eliminate the main shortcomings of the current system and bring a greater degree of justice.

Book excerpt: The search for equality has been an enduring one in the United States. Yet there has been little significant change in the distribution of wealth over the generations, while the political ideology of socialism has been rejected outright by most people. In a sensitive rendering of data, Jennifer Hochschild discovers that it is the nonrich themselves who do not support the downward redistribution of wealth. Using a long questionnaire and in-depth interviews, she examines the ideals and contemporary practices of Americans on the subject of distributive justice. She finds that both rich and poor Americans perceive three realms in their lives: the private, the political, and the economic. People tend to support equality in two of the realms: the private, where fundamental socialization takes place in the family, school, and neighborhood, and the political, where issues arise about taxes, private property, rights, political representation, social welfare policies, and visions of utopia. But in the economic realm of the workplace, class structure, and opportunity, Americans favor maintaining material differences among people. Hochschild shows how divergence between ideals and practices, and especially between Americans' views of political and economic justice, produces ambivalence. Issues involving redistribution of wealth force people to think about whether they prefer political equalization or economic differentiation. Uncertain, Americans sometimes support equality, sometimes inequality, sometimes are torn between these two beliefs. As a result, they are often tense, helpless, or angry. It is not often that Americans are allowed to talk so candidly and within rigorous social science sampling about their lives. Hochschild gives us a new combination of oral history and political theory that political scientists, philosophers, sociologists, and policymakers can read with profit and pleasure.
Download or read book Distributive Justice and Fair Exchange written by Emanuel Smikun and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we know that the cause pursued by social action is just? Inspired by a re-reading of sociological classics, the book offers a concept of transition from the idea of economic circulation of income and resources to social exchange among status groups and their shared class interests. The author evaluates levels of social justice and rationality in status groups across family, educational, occupational, and management institutions as well as their settlement, industry, financial, and political class interests. Theories of social injustice and irrationality are offered in terms of misaligned modes of social distribution and exchange. The book concludes with an overview of institutional obstacles to fair social exchange. The problem of objectivity in social science is addressed with a method of sociological deconstruction and deconstruction. It includes a de-objectifying understanding of the classics, their de-objectifying interpretation, re-subjectifying conceptualization, and re-objectifying modeling.
Download or read book Distributive Justice written by A. Pampapathy Rao and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Analyzing the concept of community, it is shown that every individual enjoys two basic rights - a right to survival and a right to participation. It is argued that this implies that underdeveloped communities must give greater priority to guaranteeing the right to participation and to survival to their members than to satisfying any other needs. It is argued that the state has the right to transfer goods in such a way as to guarantee these basic needs. Nozick's argument that there is no such right is critically examined and rejected. Hayek's claim that the concept of justice can only be applied to individuals, and his rejection of the concept of social justice are criticized. A principle for deciding how basic goods should be distributed is established. The views of Rawls are examined and it is shown that although he correctly sees that the results of natural lotteries are irrelevant to questions of justice, he fails to draw the correct conclusions from this insight. Other aspects of Rawls' theory of Justice are critically examined - especially the difference principle - and an alternative suggested. It is argued that Rawls' is a theory of institutional or political justice - rather than social justice. Rawls' views are compared with those of Kant and Nozick and important differences are brought out. An alternative theory of justice is sketched, and it is explained why no explicit principles of justice can be given."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters of this book explore, from different disciplinary perspectives, the relationship between transitional justice, distributive justice, and economic efficiency in the settlement of internal armed conflicts. They specifically discuss the role of land reform as an instrument of these goals, and examine how the balance between different perspectives has been attempted (or not) in selected cases of internal armed conflicts, and how it should be attempted in principle. Although most chapters closely examine the Colombian case, some provide a comparative perspective that includes countries in Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe, while others examine some of the more general, theoretical issues involved.

Download or read book Social justice and public policy written by Craig, Gary and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2008-06-18 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social justice is a contested term, incorporated into the language of widely differing political positions. Those on the left argue that it requires intervention from the state to ensure equality, at least of opportunity; those on the right believe that it can be underpinned by the economics of the market place with little or no state intervention. To date, political philosophers have made relatively few serious attempts to explain how a theory of social justice translates into public policy. This important book, drawing on international experience and a distinguished panel of political philosophers and social scientists, addresses what the meaning of social justice is, and how it translates into the everyday concerns of public and social policy, in the context of both multiculturalism and globalisation.
Download or read book Principles of Social Justice written by David Miller and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2001-09-30 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social justice has been the animating ideal of democratic governments throughout the twentieth century. Even those who oppose it recognize its potency. Yet the meaning of social justice remains obscure, and existing theories put forward by political philosophers to explain it have failed to capture the way people in general think about issues of social justice. This book develops a new theory. David Miller argues that principles of justice must be understood contextually, with each principle finding its natural home in a different form of human association. Because modern societies are complex, the theory of justice must be complex, too. The three primary components in Miller's scheme are the principles of desert, need, and equality. The book uses empirical research to demonstrate the central role played by these principles in popular conceptions of justice. It then offers a close analysis of each concept, defending principles of desert and need against a range of critical attacks, and exploring instances when justice requires equal distribution and when it does not. Finally, it argues that social justice understood in this way remains a viable political ideal even in a world characterized by economic globalization and political multiculturalism. Accessibly written, and drawing upon the resources of both political philosophy and the social sciences, this book will appeal to readers with interest in public policy as well as to students of politics, philosophy, and sociology.
