For a healthy society to exist there has to be balance in four types of justice-equalitarian, meritarian, social and welfare. It could be said that since the beginning of the history of mankind these justices have never been in balance considering a world society. It is only in domocratice societies that have modified capitalism that have come close to keeping these types in balance. Now that we have a new "world economy" again the world has an oportunity to attempt a world society.
But there is difficulty that as a world community that we have to face right away. The Forbes 400 richest people in the world show how rich individuals have gained wealth not by great business decisions but by great ways to exploit people in this world to gain wealth. While I grant it may not be true in every case, once wealth such as this is attained, the "wealth protection" (as a commercial for a financial institution advertises) then takes over and results in exploitation as investments are made in megacorporations that DO exploit.
In the United States the polarity in wealthy and poor or even middle class has more than demonstratede the imbalance in the four types of justice.
The United Nations seems the only institution that might have a chance at reestablishing the balance the world so desperately needs. Otherwise, history will repeat the destructive conflicts we have seen in the past or we will destroy our planet.
Give your riches to the poor or the world may indeed end.......
