In politics
Distributive justice theory argues that societies have a duty to individuals in need and that all individuals have a duty to help others in need. Proponents of distributive justice link it to human rights.
Four theories of justice are discussed: Rawlsian egalitarianism, or justice as fairness; Dworkinian egalitarianism, or equality of resources; Steiner-Vallentyne libertarianism, or common ownership; and Nozickian libertarianism, or entitlements.
Distributive justice has been applied to a society when all members are assured of a basic level of goods, an equal opportunity to acquire more goods and receive the same amount of goods for the same amount of work. The major tenets of distributive justice are equality, proportionality and fairness.
