This book explores the foundations and potential of a theory of
need-based distributive justice, supported by experimental
evidence. The core idea is that need-based distributive justice may
have some legitimatory advantages over other important principles
of distribution, like equality and equity, and therefore involves
less dispute over the distribution and redistribution of scarce
resources. In seven chapters, eleven scholars from the fields of
philosophy, psychology, sociology, political science and economics
outline the normative and positive building blocks of such a theory
by critically reviewing the literature on distributive justice from
their respective disciplinary perspectives. They address important
theoretical and practical issues concerning the rationality of
needs identification at the individual level and the recognition of
needs at the societal level. They also investigate whether and how
the dynamics of distribution procedures that allocate resources
according to the need principle leads to social stability, focusing
on the economic incentives that arise from need-based
redistribution. The final chapter provides a synthesis and outlines
a framework for a theory of justice based on ten hypotheses derived
from the insights presented.
