Macrojustice: a pluridisciplinary appraisal of Kolm's theory

The theory of 'macrojustice', introduced by S.-C. Kolm, is a stimulating contribution to the debate on the macroeconomic income distribution. The solution called 'Equal Labour Income Equalization' (ELIE) is the result of a three-stage construction: agreement on the scheme of labour income redistribution, agreement on the degree of equalization to be chosen in that framework, control by everyone of the intensity with which his/her own productive capacities (the source of his/her labour income) are exploited. The book is organized as a discussion around four themes: philosophical aspects of macrojustice, economic analysis of macrojustice, a combination of ELIE with other targeted transfers and an econometric evaluation of ELIE. The introduction includes two chapters (a presentation of the whole project by the two editors, a summary of the macrojustice and the ELIE transfers by Kolm) and the conclusion consists of Kolm’s selective comments on the points made by the contributors. Presents the pluridisciplinary debate on macroeconomic income distribution Explains and discusses Kolm's theory of macrojustice, with comments by Kolm himself Gives insight into concepts from political philosophy, public economics, normative economics, andeconometrics
