Short video featuring Steven Ramirez
Is there an economic cost to injustice? Does economic opportunity contribute to social justice? In this episode of our social justice series, Professor Steven Ramirez of Loyola University Chicago School of Law explains that social justice does not have to mean radical redistribution; it can mean a society that enables equal access to economic opportunities for every person.
As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
