ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. It argues that the content of justice is a set of individual rights to engage in the activities chosen to pursue, which do not interfere with the activities of others. The author has provided exhaustive answers to questions over the structure and content of natural rights in all socio-economic contexts. This chapter shows how natural rights apply to the real world in a plausible way, and that they do not delegate questions about the hard cases of property rights to other fields. Assuming that the author is right, this does not reveal how a state should be constituted in order to ensure it sticks to this remit. The chapter discusses that this does not mean that justice cannot provide an evaluative standard, but it cannot provide a road map to optimising that standard, certainly not alone.
