Capitalism and Justice
Capitalism is an economic system where private individuals or businesses own and control resources and trade. Distributive justice refers to the fair allocation of goods and resources in society. In capitalism, wealth can be unevenly distributed, leading to debates about justice: Is it fair that some have much more than others? Advocates argue that capitalism rewards hard work and innovation, while critics highlight issues like inequality and access to opportunities. The challenge lies in balancing economic freedom with ensuring that everyone has a fair chance to thrive, making justice an essential part of the conversation about capitalism.
