This book presents a novel approach to distributive justice that goes beyond traditional perspectives that fail to address economic inequality and exacerbate social problems by ignoring the root causes of disparity. Its primary goal is to emphasize the significance of self-ownership and private property, showcasing how market participation promotes liberty and prosperity.
The notion of paying reparations to disadvantaged racial groups as a form of compensation for historical injustice is a highly contentious topic. The debates surrounding this issue often revolve around practical considerations, such as the logistics and financial implications of such payments, while neglecting to delve into more fundamental questions about the essence of justice. What exactly is justice? What are the implications of wealth redistribution for individual liberty and the rule of law?
This book seeks to answer these critical questions by examining classical liberal perspectives in law, philosophy, and economics. It questions whether economic inequality is a result of historical injustice and explores the broader implications of pursuing equal outcomes through legislative mandates. The book argues that free markets, built upon libertarian rights, are the most effective means of assisting disadvantaged members of society and fostering the conditions necessary for economic equality to thrive.
This book will appeal to researchers and students in economics, law, politics, and philosophy, as it offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of distributive justice and its potential solutions.
