When the Price Is Wrong: The Clash of Justice in Real Life
Picture a hurricane-ravaged Florida town in 2004. You desperately need ice to preserve food and medicine. The price? $10 for what cost $2 yesterday. Your blood boils-this feels wrong. But why? Is it simply supply and demand at work, or something deeper? This tension between what's legal and what's just sits at the heart of how we organize society. When Pentagon officials denied Purple Hearts to veterans with PTSD, or when bailed-out executives blamed their failures on a "financial tsunami" while pocketing bonuses, they revealed something crucial: our disagreements about fairness aren't random. They stem from three competing visions of justice-maximizing happiness, protecting freedom, and cultivating virtue. Each sounds reasonable in theory, yet they often clash spectacularly in practice. Consider the trolley problem: most would divert a runaway train to kill one person instead of five, yet refuse to push someone off a bridge to achieve the same result. This inconsistency isn't irrationality-it's competing moral intuitions wrestling for dominance. Real stakes make these dilemmas even more wrenching. In 2005, Navy SEALs in Afghanistan faced an impossible choice: kill unarmed goatherds who stumbled upon their position, or release them and risk discovery. They chose mercy. Ninety minutes later, Taliban fighters surrounded them, killing nineteen Americans. Was this moral courage or catastrophic failure? Justice isn't abstract philosophy-it's the agonizing space between principles and consequences, where our deepest values collide with brutal reality.
