(Egalitarian; Capitalist; Socialist-

Responsibilities to each other.)
 DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE

• Distributive justice refers to the extent to which society's

institutions ensure that benefits and burdens are
distributed among society's members in ways that are fair
and just. When the institutions of a society distribute
benefits or burdens in unjust ways, there is a strong
presumption that those institutions should be changed.
EGALITARIAN

• Distributive justice is another form

of egalitarianism that addresses life outcomes
and the allocation of valuable things such as
income, wealth, and other goods. The proper
metric of equality is a contentious issue.
 CAPITALIST

considered here are distributive ones. Capitalism is
criticized for the unequal and/or unjust distribution
of material, social and cultural goods.
Socialist-the State and Citizens

• In socialist economies, social justice forms a foundation

principle of economic policy. Socialist governments
commonly carry out vast programs of forced
redistribution of land, capital, and other assets, such as
the great Leap Forward and the Holodomor, in the name
of social justice.
Responsibilities to each other

• Distributive Justice is concerned with the fair

distribution of the burdens and benefits of social
cooperation among diverse person with competing
needs and claims.

INCLUSIVE GROWTH

• ‘Inclusive growth’ is increasingly invoked at

international, national and city levels as offering
prospects for more equitable social outcomes. Yet the
concept of inclusive growth is open to a number of
different interpretations, writes Anne Green, Professor
of Regional Economic Development.
Principles of Inclusive Growth
1. See economic growth not as an end in itself but as a
means to achieve inclusion and shared prosperity.
2. Be prepared to proactively shape the labour market
and build quality jobs.
3. Prioritise connectivity and expand social networks
so that they are less exclusive.
4. Make poverty matter less in accessing good quality
city services.
5. View people as assets and invest in them at the
outset and at key points in their lives.
Principles of Inclusive Growth
6. De-risk transitions by providing safety nets at key
junctures.
7. Be prepared to innovate and create opportunities for
shared leadership.
8. See citizen engagement as a way to generate knowledge
from the bottom up.
9. Get the fundamentals right (at national and local levels).
10. Focus on small incremental changes as well as large
‘flagship’ schemes.
