Abstract
Distributive justice is concerned with the fair distribution of the burdens and benefits of social cooperation among diverse persons with competing needs and claims. A theory of distributive justice must set out an account of political justification specifying the weight to be assigned to various kinds of relevant considerations and providing an acceptable description of the standpoint from which judgments are formed. The theory must employ these resources to justify an account of a just distribution of social goods, determining, in the process, the priority to be assigned to considerations such as claims of right, entitlement, efficiency, equality, fairness, and community.
