ABSTRACT
This chapter explains some of the challenges, promise of and under-represented aspects of distributive justice and the debates that surround it. As a point of focus, we have spent time specifically looking at the under-representation of aspects of the global and African experience and how these have been shaped. There are many aspects here where a reader of this chapter can postulate development through new ideas or perspectives from authors given here, or how they relate to a given reader's interests, or even in direct opposition to an idea presented here. There is few if any who will look at distributions in the present tense, conceptually or literally, as perfect. Regardless of whether this is an eternal condition of our human existence; we still must try to work conceptually and will always be tasked with acting in distributive ways. Finding a fair share is about how we come to understand the expansive nature of distributive justice as much.
