Episode 10: Can Justice Exist in an Unequal System?

We’re told justice is blind. Courthouses proclaim “Equal Justice Under Law.” But can justice truly exist in a system built on inequality? In this episode, Justin traces the history of justice from Hammurabi to modern capitalism, revealing how laws have often protected property and the powerful over people. He explores the myth of equal justice, alternative models like restorative and indigenous justice, and how contributionism redefines fairness when survival is unconditional. Justice, he argues, can’t be patched onto inequality — it must be rooted in equality from the start.
