 We can conclude this discussion of distributive justice by discussing some recent work on global economic justice that rejects the Rawlsian legacy in a more thoroughgoing manner. Much of this work begins with a concern for property rights, understood in terms that make them prior to—and, thus, constraints upon—principles of distributive justice. Rawlsian distributive justice, of course, is compatible with the defense of property rights; but those rights are taken to be constructed out of the theory of justice—they do not, as it were, exist before the discussion of economic justice. For many theorists, however, property rights must be respected as inputs to our theorizing about global distributive justice—rather than as outputs of that theorizing.
