Justice

The notion of justice makes sense only when referring to a definite system of norms which in itself is assumed to be uncontested and safe against any criticism.

Human Action, p. 716; p. 720

There is no such thing as an absolute notion of justice not referring to a definite system of social organization. . . . There is neither right nor wrong outside the social nexus.

Human Action, p. 717; p. 721

The idea of justice refers always to social cooperation.

Human Action, p. 717; p. 721

Conduct suited to preserve social cooperation is just, conduct detrimental to the preservation of society is unjust.
