ABSTRACT
The recent shift from a focus on growth to one on equity and human rights demonstrates that innovation as such is not necessarily at odds with social justice. Inclusivity in innovation matters. Inclusive technological products and processes can be conducive to reducing both inequality of access to resources and ending oppression, thereby creating a community in which people stand in relations of equality to one another. However, the need for a plausible theory remains. Only by producing a plausible theory of justice in innovation can we address the question of inclusivity in terms of the moral and political obligation to equalise social relations in the generation and distribution of new products and services.
