Distributive Justice and Taxation is a comprehensive exploration of the concept of distributive justice, delving into various theories of what constitutes a just society and how goods should be distributed within it. The distribution of goods in society has profound implications for the well-being of individuals, raising crucial questions about fairness and equality. Is it just that some people inherit vast fortunes while others inherit nothing? Do wealthy individuals wield greater political power due to their wealth? If so, is this justified? Moreover, should the primary objective of economic policies be to alleviate poverty or to reduce inequality?

To address these complex issues, this book employs a rigorous analytical framework, drawing from a range of theories, including strong egalitarian perspectives on the left and right-wing libertarianism. The chapters meticulously examine the case of taxation, one of the most significant and contentious measures of distributing goods in society. Through a detailed analysis of the tax system in Norway, complemented by data from the UK and USA, the book sheds light on the key features of taxation and explores its implications for distributive justice.

In conclusion, Distributive Justice and Taxation offers a valuable contribution to the field of distributive justice, providing a comprehensive examination of the theories and practices related to the distribution of goods and wealth. It is an essential read for those interested in this critical topic, as well as students and scholars of philosophy, law, political science, and economics. By exploring the complexities of distributive justice and taxation, this book contributes to our understanding of how societies can strive for greater fairness and equality.
