Features: This book is a statement with artistic expression regarding the justice of distribution, as well as a critical work in the literature on this topic. Insights from modern game theory, decision theory, moral philosophy, and philosophy of science are clearly reflected in this important issue, making it worth reading. This volume elaborates on and critiques what I consider to be the two most significant theories of justice: one, which I call justice as mutually beneficial, and the other, justice as fairness. The second volume will focus on defending justice as fairness, providing a more detailed explanation of this theory and drawing attention to its application in the allocation of interests and burdens among people in a society. The third volume will strive to draw comprehensive conclusions on what kind of justice is necessary for economic systems, whether domestically or internationally.
