When we think about justice, we are focused on the distribution of benefits and burdens of social cooperation and we seek to ensure that no particular group is consistently made worse off by the ways social and political structures function.

In focusing on distribution of workloads, we look to the contributions that various individuals or groups make to social functioning.    In general, we believe it to be fair that effort be correlated with compensation (in terms of financial resources but also in status, power, authority, and influence).

This reflects the value of solidarity.
