In favore della giustizia sociale. Alcune riflessioni a partire da Contro la tribù

Abstract

The ideas contained in this essay unfold from the reading of Contro la tribù. Hayek, la giustizia sociale e i sentieri di montagna, by Alberto Mingardi. The purpose of this essay is to collect some of the suggestions contained in Mingardi’s volume to elaborate on and criticize them, in order to contribute to the debate around key issues such as the concept of distributive justice, the antinomy between freedom and equality, and the relations between some of the internal currents of political liberalism. The main theme underlying this essay can be summarized as the following question: is it possible for a world so wealthy, like the one that followed the Industrial Revolution, to be fairer, too?
