Globalization and Economic Ethics: Distributive Justice in the Knowledge Economy

by Albino Barrera

Book Overview

What is the appropriate criterion to use for distributive justice? Is it efficiency, need, contribution, entitlement, equality, effort, or ability? This book maintains that far from being rival principles of distributive justice, efficiency and need satisfaction are, in fact, complementary norms in our emerging knowledge economy.
