Political Philosophy on Fairness - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 232 Fairness/distributive justice/Political Theories/Lamont: some of the earliest discussions of distributive justice involved claims of fairness with respect to the division of profits between labour and capital. This work has continued as an important part of the political economy literature on distributive justice. Marxism: in recent times it has moved away from Marxist theories with state controlled socialism to market socialism (Le Grand and Estrin, 1989(1); Ollman, Lawler and Ticktin, 1998(2); Pranab, Bardhan and Roemer, 1997(3); Roemer and Wright, 1996(4)). For socialists the motivation for this move has been to embrace the virtues of the market mechanism for the allocation of resources while avoiding the vices of capitalism (Arnold, 1995)(5). >Fairness/Economic theories, >Distributive Justice. 1.
