  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p><jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">H</jats:styled-content>ayek's well‐known dismissal of the concept of ‘social justice’ is examined and questioned. While basically agreeing with <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">H</jats:styled-content>ayek's critique, the author argues that we should not entirely reject this concept, although it is often used in a vague and emotional way – ‘social justice talk’. Drawing on the tradition of classical liberalism and <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">C</jats:styled-content>atholic social teaching, he makes the case for the true meaning of social justice, which applies to the basic legal and institutional framework of a society rather than the distributional outcomes of market processes.</jats:p>
