    Key Terms

    Fair reciprocity(as White's specific standard for determining what counts as just distribution)
    A principle of fairness suggesting that when people contribute to society, they should get back benefits that match what they put in—like being paid fairly for your work.
    Neutralized(as what White's standard does NOT require societies to do with unearned advantages)
    Made equal or canceled out so that no one person has more of something than another.
    Proportional returns(as what fair reciprocity requires)
    Rewards or benefits that match the size or amount of someone's contribution; if you contribute twice as much, you receive twice as much in return.
    Stuart White(as the originator of the 'fair reciprocity' standard discussed in this statement)
    A contemporary political philosopher who writes about fairness and justice, particularly about how societies should distribute resources and responsibilities among their members.
