Preferred term

economic justice  

Definition

  • The moral philosopher and political economist Adam Smith asserted that “justice … is the main pillar that upholds the whole edifice [of society]. If it is removed, the great, the immense fabric of human society … must in a moment crumble into atoms” (Smith 1976a [1790], 86). What this pillar should look like, and how it should be constructed, are perennial questions that scholars and practitioners of leadership have debated before and after Smith.
