A Short History of Distributive Justice
Samuel Fleischacker
Fleischacker argues that guaranteeing aid to the poor is a modern idea, developed only in the last two centuries. By examining major writings in ancient, medieval, and modern political philosophy, he shows how we arrived at the contemporary meaning of distributive justice, distinguishing it from the historical concept of charity.
