| Abstract | David Krueger here sets forth a bold, creative, and controversial proposal: he develops a theologically and empirically rooted, ethically ordered concept of "productive justice" as a contemporary addition to the classically known concepts of "commutative" and "distributive" justice. While "commutative justice" is necessary in all of civil society and "distributive justice" may be the special province of government, Krueger makes a strong case for the distinctive character of "productive justice" as proper to the new institutions, the modern business corporations, that are increasingly coming to dominate economic activity around the world. From different perspectives, both Don Shriver and Laura Nash challenge Krueger's proposal; Shriver particularly questions its adequacy in the face of the growing divisions between rich and poor both in this country and around the globe, and Nash challenges its applicability in the "real world" of the modern business corporation. |
