Abstract

Considering economic inequality as a vulnerability, both in economic and social terms, the paper discusses, with the help of the two Rawlsian principles of difference (negative case - increase in economic inequality, positive case - decrease in economic inequality), nuances of the acceptability or unacceptability of any changes in it. The paper is structured in two sections, the context section, which presents the basic concepts and details of the difference principle in managing the growth of economic inequality, and a discussion section, which examines two aspects: a critical evaluation of the originary difference principle and a new (related) difference principle that can manage, from a social justice perspective, the decline of economic inequality in society. The last part of the paper includes results, conclusions and some future research directions.
