All THOMAS SOWELL Quotes about “Justice”

“A passionate commitment to social justice is no substitute for knowing what the hell you're talking about.”
“In its pursuit of justice for a segment of society, in disregard of the consequences for society as a whole, what is called 'social justice' might more accurately be called anti-social justice, since what consistently gets ignored or dismissed are precisely the costs to society. Such a conception of justice seeks to correct, not only biased or discriminatory acts by individuals or by social institutions, but unmerited disadvantages in general, from whatever source they may arise.”
“Both HUD and the Department of Justice began bringing lawsuits against mortgage bankers when a higher percentage of minority applicants than white applicants were turned down for mortgage loans. A substantial majority of both black and white mortgage loan applicants had their loans approved but a statistical difference was enough to get a bank sued.”
“All justice is inherently social. Can someone on a desert island be either just or unjust?”
“What does 'economic justice' mean, except that you want something that someone else produced, without having to produce anything yourself in return?”
