""Distributive Justice: The Right And Wrong Of Our Present Distribution Of Wealth"" is a book written by John A. Ryan in 1916. The book explores the concept of distributive justice, which refers to the fair distribution of wealth and resources among individuals in society. Ryan examines the economic and social conditions of his time and argues that the current distribution of wealth is unjust and unsustainable. He proposes various solutions to address this issue, including progressive taxation, labor reform, and the establishment of cooperatives. Ryan's work is considered a significant contribution to the field of social justice and economic theory. The book is a classic in its genre and has been widely referenced in academic and political discussions on distributive justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
