Models of distributive justice and political-ideological articulations

Abstract

At the end of 2019, official data was published indicating an increase in poverty, indigence and inequality in argentina. This data put the unfulfilled promises of Cambiemos and the regressive transfer of income that it carried out in the center of the public scene. This fact allowed us to raise questions about distributive justice: how is a regressive distribution of income and an increase in inequality socially justified? Which economic and social ideologies structure these justifications and how do they articulate with political identifications? This article aims to answer these questions by analyzing how political and ideological identifications relate to the modes of distributive justice. In particular, we are interested in understanding when anti-distributive positions that reject state intervention emerge most strongly, how they relate to the growing social authoritarianism, and how these ideological positions were articulated with political
identifications in Argentina.
