Synopsis
Excerpt from Distributive Justice
The volume in hand represents an attempt to discuss systematically and comprehensively the justice of the processes by which the product of industry is distributed. Inasmuch as the product is actually apportioned among landowners, capitalists, business men, and labourers, the moral aspects of the distribution are studied with refer ence to these four classes. While their rights and obliga tions form the main subject of the book, the effort is also made to propose reforms that would remove the principal defects of the present system and bring about a larger measure of justice.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book posits that the unequal distribution of wealth and income results from unjust distribution of land and capital. The first part of the book examines historical and contemporary arguments in favor of and against private landownership. It particularly focuses on Henry George's belief that private landownership is inherently unjust and that land, as a gift of nature, should be equally accessible to all. The author ultimately argues that private landownership is preferable to common ownership, but that it should be strictly limited in favor of the community. The book then proceeds to critique the institution of capitalism, arguing that the income of the capitalist is derived from the exploitation of labor. It further contends that this exploitation is morally wrong and that a more just system must be found. The author concludes by examining alternative systems such as socialism and limited capitalism, arguing for the latter as the most ethical system of income distribution. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
