Since this is a book that addresses social justice issues, I have been really focusing on how justice is being defined, early on in your introduction on page 5 it says that social justice is conceived as “constituted along three dimensions, namely, economic redistribution, cultural recognition, and political representation.”
What is meant by “economic redistribution”? Is this referring to the Socialist principle, or is something else meant by it?

Perhaps the biggest question I have is what do you think a government’s role is in a society? I agree in general that an employer discriminating against someone and not hiring them because of a stereotype is not good, but should this be treated as criminal activity, or as a rude social behavior? Is it the government’s job to end discrimination like that? Is being given a job for which you are qualified even a basic human right?
These are just several burning questions I have even reading the first few pages of the book. I would really love any feedback given.
Thanks.
