Philosophy : Justice what is it?


A thought provoking look at what justice is, as looked at from a philosophical point of view. Without a doubt al the issues he raises are worth thinking about, and any value system considering itself complete must be able to address them.

Outrage is anger at injustice.

He raises a very salient point about how "market-capitalism" has creeped into becoming the basic value system of western society.

What are the moral limits of markets?

He talks a lot about the "outsourcing" of war, child-birth, etc., describing it as the market reaching into spheres it was not in before, I don't think this is historically true - if you look at ancient times, all armies were effectively paid-professionals, schools used to be all private as well. Perhaps we are just shifting back to what is natural.
