    Study Notes

    The Principle of Participation

    • Does not guarantee equal results, but ensures equal human right to participate in the production of marketable goods and services
    • Requires equal access to labor and productive capital for every person
    • Rejects monopolies, special privileges, and other exclusionary social barriers to full participation and economic self-reliance

    Distributive Justice

    • Defines the output or out-take rights of an economic system matched to each person's labor and capital inputs
    • Linked to participative justice, ensuring incomes are linked to productive contributions
    • Involves the sanctity of property and contracts
    • Based on the idea "to each according to his contribution", not "to each according to his needs"
    • Free and open marketplace determines the just price, wage, and profit

    Social Justice

    • The "feedback and corrective" principle that detects distortions of the input and out-take principles
    • Guides corrections needed to restore a just and balanced economic order for all
    • Imposes personal responsibility to collaborate with others to design and perfect institutions for personal and social development

    Defining Economic Justice

    • Encompasses moral principles that guide the design of economic institutions
    • Determines how each person earns a living, enters into contracts, and exchanges goods and services
    • Ultimate purpose is to free each person to engage creatively in the unlimited work beyond economics

    The Three Principles of Economic Justice

    • Participative Justice (input principle): equal access to means of acquiring private property and engaging in productive work
    • Distributive Justice (out-take principle): output or out-take rights matched to labor and capital inputs
    • Social Justice (feedback and corrective principle): detects distortions and guides corrections to restore a just and balanced economic order

    Graphical Representation

    • The three principles of economic justice can be depicted as a three-legged stool, where if any principle is weakened or missing, the system will collapse

    Defining Justice

    • Justice is giving to each person what they are due, but the problem lies in determining what is due.
    • Justice is a set of universal principles that guide people in judging what is right and wrong, regardless of culture and society.
    • Justice is one of the four "cardinal virtues" of classical moral philosophy, along with courage, temperance, and prudence.

    Distinguishing Justice from Charity

    • Justice and charity are often confused, but they are distinct virtues.
    • Charity is derived from the Latin word "caritas" or "divine love," and it is the soul of justice.
    • Justice supplies the material foundation for charity, while charity deals with the spirit of human interactions and exceptional cases.

    Defining Social Justice

    • Social justice encompasses economic justice.
    • Social justice guides us in creating institutions that provide access to what is good for the person, both individually and in associations with others.
    • Social justice imposes a personal responsibility on each of us to collaborate with others to design and perfect our institutions.

    Defining Economic Justice

    • Economic justice touches the individual person as well as the social order.
    • Economic justice encompasses the moral principles that guide us in designing our economic institutions.
    • The ultimate purpose of economic justice is to free each person to engage creatively in work beyond economics, that of the mind and the spirit.

    The Three Principles of Economic Justice

    • Participative Justice is the input principle, requiring equal access to the means of acquiring private property in productive assets.
    • Distributive Justice is the out-take principle, defining the rights of an economic system matched to each person's labor and capital inputs.
    • Social Justice is the feedback and corrective principle, detecting distortions and guiding corrections to restore a just and balanced economic order.

    Key Principles of Economic Justice

    • Participative Justice requires equal opportunity to participate in the production of marketable goods and services through labor and/or productive capital.
