英文摘要Post-positivist scholars have shown that justice motivates personal behavior and policymaking, but they have not adequately explained how such normative concerns exert their influence. I argue that justice is the rewarding of desert, and desert is an emergent social institution. As a social institution, community members have built-in incentives to enforce and perpetuate communal understandings of desert though external sanctions and inculcation. As an evolutionary phenomenon, what constitutes upright, moral behavior will vary across communities and contexts, constraining individuals and policymakers as they address community issues. In an empirical test of my theory, I find that an individual's support for redistributive policies is driven by her (a) belief in desert's reward and (b) definition of economic deservingness. People tolerate grave inequalities if they think those inequalities are deserved. Indeed, if outcomes appear deserved, altering them constitutes an unjust act. Moreover, people who assign a significant role to personal responsibility in their definitions of economic desert oppose large-scale redistribution policies because government intervention makes it harder for people to (by their definition) deserve their economic station. In short, people must perceive inequality as undeserved to motivate a policy response, and the means of combating inequality must not undermine desert.
