  1. Types of Justice • Retributive justice: punishment/reward given to someone for something he/she has done • Distributive justice: the distribution of goods, services, or responsibilities based on: • productivity and merit (Plato) • social utility, public interest (J. S. Mill) • need and ability (socialism: Marx) • equal opportunity (welfare liberalism: Rawls) • ownership of property, entitlement, free choices (classical liberalism:Nozick)

  2. Minimal State (Entitlement) Theory:Robert Nozick • We are entitled to use our property as we see fit. The State’s legitimate power is limited to preventing harm and protecting property rights • Taxation for anything other than protection (e.g, to impose a pattern to redistribute wealth) is unjust because it ignores how goods are acquired fairly through trade, labor, gifts, etc.
