The transcript of a lecture delivered on 19th December 1951 by Leon MacLaren.

Justice is seen to be of paramount importance in modern societies, and one of the hallmarks of civilised societies. Nevertheless, at the present time, injustice and its effects can be seen the world over. What Leon MacLaren drew attention to in this lecture is that justice presents itself in more than one way. While political, or civil justice, is of great importance, it is not complete in itself. Without an accompanying economic justice it remains incomplete and our societies are the less civilised because of it. It is the failure to observe justice in economic affairs that accounts for much of the poverty and many of the problems of modern economic life.
