Distributive Justice and Fair Exchange: How to find and use social standards

How do we know that the cause pursued by a social action is just? The book estimates levels of social injustice in status groups across family, occupational, educational, and organizational institutions as well as their settlement, industry, property, and political class interests. Theories of social injustice are proposed in terms of misaligned modes of status distribution and class exchange underlying the ideologies of selfish individualism, egalitarian collectivism, liberal and social democracy. The author demonstrates how progressive status groups are controlled by backward political and property class interests. The problem of objectivity in social science is addressed with a comprehensive method of sociological deconstruction and reconstruction. It includes a de-objectifying understanding of the classics, their de-subjectifying interpretation, re-subjectifying conceptualization and re-objectifying modeling.
