Publisher's Synopsis
Social Justice Without Socialism is a book written by John Bates Clark in 1914. In this book, Clark argues that social justice can be achieved without the need for socialism. He believes that socialism is not the answer to the problems of poverty and inequality, but rather, a free market economy is the best way to achieve social justice. Clark argues that a free market economy is the most efficient way to allocate resources and create wealth. He believes that government intervention in the economy can lead to inefficiencies and distortions in the market. Clark also argues that a free market economy promotes personal responsibility and individual initiative. Clark's book is divided into three parts. In the first part, he discusses the concept of social justice and how it can be achieved without socialism. In the second part, he discusses the role of the state in promoting social justice. Finally, in the third part, he discusses the practical implications of his ideas for public policy. Overall, Social Justice Without Socialism is an important contribution to the debate on social justice and the role of the state in promoting it. Clark's ideas continue to be influential in modern debates on economics and public policy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
