“…Novak's corpus spans all three specializations. His books on business as a vocation, social justice, and liberation theology (the true basis of economic growth) fall within the first (Novak, 1996;Novak et al, 2015;Novak, 1991a). His masterwork, Spirit, clearly falls within the second.…”

Many social theorists hold that the corporation is the key institution of the modern world. Novak wrote four books on the corporation, viewing it as the chief instrument of innovation within “democratic capitalism”, and the concrete entity in which its three systems (political, economic, moral-cultural) converge. We look at Novak’s account with its roots in Maritain, and at Novak’s intention to ground this account in the ideals of the American Founding, and in a Christian understanding of grace. “The corporation” turns out to be an excellent pathway into Novak’s thought and a safeguard against some fundamental mistakes in interpreting him.

“…In this view, social justice is "responsible" action by individuals in caring for themselves and their families and private acts of charity to address the consequences of poverty. The role of the state is to create markets, extending market rationality to services previously under state control and not considered commodifiable (e.g., education, health care; Anderson, 2017aAnderson, , 2017bBurke, 2011;Messmore, 2010aMessmore, , 2010bNovak, 2009;Novak & Adams, 2015). As Brodie ( 2007) describes neoliberal social justice, brackets out the influence of structure and systemic barriers to citizen equality and social justice, revolving, instead, around the primacy of individual choices and open systems that empower people to make their own choices about how they will live their own lives.…”

Given widespread interest and commitment among psychologists to promote social justice, this article takes up the question "What is social justice?" and critically examines the efforts of psychologists in its pursuit. Contemporary challenges to defining social justice are discussed as well as problems resulting from an absence of consensus regarding its meaning. It is argued that social justice only can be understood in light of its particular history. A brief historical overview of social justice is provided. This history supplies the grounds for a critical treatment of conceptions of social justice and psychological initiatives. Fraser's framework for social justice is presented as a theoretical guide for psychologists that can be defended in light of a "best account." Public Significance StatementThis article investigates what social justice means and how it pertains to psychology.
