Following a distinction that goes back to Aristotle, under this umbrella we later distinguish commutative from distributive justice. The former maintains and restores an earlier status quo that set the stage for the interaction or otherwise responds to violations. The latter is concerned with sharing out whatever a community holds in common. Contrary to many contemporary philosophical voices, I think distributive justice, appropriately understood, should be at the center of global political thought. This book explores how to think about global distributive justice"--
