An Essay on Distributive Justice and the Equal Ownership of Natural Resources

American Journal of Economics and Sociology

Published online on

Abstract

The article argues that, in seeking to establish criteria for distributive justice, consideration should be given to the manner in which Earth's natural resources are owned. The views of seven notable authorities on this issue are presented, ranging from an unrestricted right of private ownership to some form of public or collective ownership. The possibility of a system of ownership that is private but equal is discussed.
