Michael Walzer on Social Goods - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 199 Social Goods/Walzer: e.g. membership and affiliation, security and welfare, money and goods, offices, hard work, leisure time, upbringing and education, kinship and love, divine grace, recognition, political power. Dominant goods also allow their owners to acquire goods from another sphere while disregarding the distribution rules of that sphere. This is the case when persons hold offices in a society on the basis of mere party membership (and not on the basis of qualifications and performance) or when money (and not talent) decides on access to education. Dominant goods are unjust because they violate the internal logic of the spheres of justice and establish a principle of rule that exists across the spheres. >Distributive Justice/Walzer, >Justice._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
