Distributive Justice (Classic Reprint): The Right and Wrong of Our Present Distribution of Wealth: The Right and Wrong of Our Present Distribution of Wealth (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Exploring the morality of how wealth is divided today. This book examines why the current distribution of land, capital, and labor raises questions of justice, and it offers thoughtful ways to rethink economic fairness.
In a clear, systematic approach, it analyzes private land ownership, the role of rent, and the pay of workers. It also discusses how capital and profits fit into a just society, and proposes reform ideas such as cooperative enterprise and targeted taxation to reduce inequality without stifling growth.
- Understand the core questions about land, rent, and ownership that shape economic justice.
- Learn how profits, wages, and productivity are connected to fairness in a market economy.
- Explore practical reform ideas, including cooperative credit, agricultural cooperation, and tax concepts aimed at reducing excessive fortunes.
- See how different ethical traditions view duties to workers, owners, and the broader community.
Ideal for readers interested in ethics and economics, public policy, or the history of distributive justice.
