What are three theories of economic justice examples? How do they all differ in ethics and values?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Development as Freedom<\/em>, Amartya Sen outlines three theories of economic justice: utilitarianism, libertarianism, and Rawlsian justice<\/a>. All of these theories have their own pros and cons, which means no theory is the “right” approach to economics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s look at these economic justice examples by exploring their advantages and disadvantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Economic Justice Examples<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sen analyzes the competing economic justice<\/strong> examples: utilitarianism, libertarianism, and Rawlsian<\/strong> justice. <\/strong>Sen incorporates their positive aspects, such as the importance of valuing both freedom and its consequences, into his own view of justice. <\/strong>Justice is integral to his broader case for freedom-centered development, because \u201cjust\u201d or equitable opportunity is essential to increasing freedom.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utilitarianism<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first example of economic justice is utilitarianism. Articulated by British philosopher Jeremy Bentham in the 19th century, utilitarianism is an ethical theory that prioritizes doing the greatest good for most people<\/strong>. It became the predominant theory of ethics throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries, and was adopted, in different variations, by prominent economists such as John Stuart Mill and William Stanley Jevons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: In this context, \u201cutility\u201d refers to a measure of happiness or satisfaction. The theory is based on the idea that rational people seek to increase their utility or happiness, and that public policy should seek to do the same for society.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pros of Utilitarianism<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sen sees two main virtues of this approach. First, utilitarianism is focused on outcomes, meaning the results of policies are more important than processes. Sen believes results must be part of the calculus. Second, the welfare of people is the primary consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cons of Utilitarianism<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

 Sen identifies four problems with utilitarianism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Utilitarianism focuses on total utility and doesn\u2019t consider how utility is distributed among the population\u2014leading to a potential disregard of the lower classes. <\/li>
  2. It does not regard freedom as inherently valuable. Freedom is considered important only because of its indirect effect on happiness.<\/li>
  3. It overlooks that people can become inured to their situations. For example, some poor people in undeveloped societies may consider themselves happy despite their low standard of living, which severely limits their opportunities.   <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Because people have different notions of happiness, comparisons between<\/em> people don\u2019t work well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Libertarianism<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The second example of economic justice is the libertarian theory<\/strong>, as expressed by Robert Nozick in Anarchy, State, and Utopia<\/em><\/a>. It focuses on maximum individual liberty with minimal government intervention<\/a> in personal affairs. In libertarian theory, the parties involved in a transaction determine what constitutes a just or fair exchange rather than the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: Opposition to minimum wage laws is an example of applying the libertarian \u201cjustice as consent\u201d model. If an employer wants to pay a worker $5 an hour, and the worker is willing to accept this, libertarian theory considers this transaction consensual and therefore just. Libertarians aren’t concerned with whether any outside party considers this exploitative\u2014what’s important is the mutual consent of the parties involved. In fact, libertarian theory considers minimum wage laws themselves<\/em> unjust, because they essentially give the government power to veto an otherwise mutually agreed-upon transaction.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pros of Libertarianism<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Sen notes only one key benefit of libertarianism: Unlike utilitarianism, libertarian theory does<\/em> value freedom inherently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cons of Libertarianism<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Sen warns that libertarianism prioritizes freedom from government intervention above results, meaning it\u2019s willing, in theory, to accept poor outcomes for some people as long as respect for everyone\u2019s rights is maintained. If freedom results in unemployment, for example, the government has no obligation to help the unemployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rawlsian Justice  <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The last economic justice example is Rawlsian justice. In A Theory of Justice<\/em><\/a>, published in 1971, Harvard philosopher John Rawls presents a moral model, \u201cjustice as fairness,\u201d which tries to reconcile notions of liberty and equity.  In Sen\u2019s interpretation, the purpose of Rawlsian justice is to allow individuals a better chance to pursue their objectives.<\/strong> To attain their objectives, they need \u201cprimary goods.\u201d  These primary goods include rights, freedoms, opportunities, and income. Together, these primary goods provide people a just or fair chance to succeed or fail on their own merits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pros of Rawlsian Justice<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Rawls values freedom for its own sake (what he calls the priority of liberty). Rawls also values other primary goods<\/strong>, meaning that he considers more than freedom in his evaluations. Sen agrees with Rawls that primary goods\u2014aside from liberty\u2014are vital as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cons of Rawlsian Justice <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Sen argues that for very poor nations, the \u201cpriority of liberty\u201d can overemphasize freedom and risk overlooking the basic economic needs of the poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While Sen values negative rights, he also champions positive rights like safety nets and public health programs he deems vital to his idea of freedom. For example, Sen would likely favor progressive tax rates to redistribute some of the highest earners\u2019 income to poorer people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: By \u201cnegative rights,\u201d we mean the rights of a person to be free from<\/em> external violations of liberty, such as coercion. By \u201cpositive rights,\u201d we mean peoples\u2019 claim to<\/em> entitlements in order to secure a baseline level of welfare.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
