Free markets provide the most social justice, and it is measureable
When leftist speak of social “Social Justice” they use it as a tool to attack liberty. Liberty inherently shows the inequalities in people and situations, since inequality is bad, liberty and free markets are bad. However taken away from a situational approach into an ecological approach free markets provide the most social justice.
When one looks at the current world one can easily say there is inequality. There is inequality in wealth, ability and luck. This is given. When one just looks at the situation in the moment, there is a temptation to judge the system poor. There is rich and poor and poor people suffer. They can’t reach their potential.
But when one looks at free markets with the underling laws and rights it requires one realizes that it is an improvement from the natural order, which is group or single man control. The free markets with the values of protection of property, personal choice, non-coercion, freedom of contract freedom, of movement and speech among many others can be proven to give more social justice to the rich and poor a like. This is an ecological view.
Any nearly every measure of quality of life has been improved by the free market and the system that builds it. Examples include, leisure time, technology, arts, technology, literature, music, life expectancy, hospital care, education. All have benefited when people are free to choose. Take any one of these and plot progress in nations where people are free, less taxed and less controlled and you will see a benefit to more people faster.
