Abstract

We all want to live in a just society. Justice comprises not just questions of distribution but also elements such as participation and recognition (Schlosberg, 2004). Many academic and government economists have worked toward this goal by bringing their expertise to bear on topics related to fairness and inequality. For example, agricultural economists have made important contributions to understanding poverty, hunger, public health, and rural wellbeing. Many of these contributions have been documented in this magazine (Pender, Weber, and Fawbush, 2012; Rupasingha, 2014; Ahearn, 2016). However, injustice continues to persist, and certain groups—including low-income communities, people of color, and some people from immigrant backgrounds—face unfair barriers and historical burdens that demand more scholarly attention (Advani et al., 2021; Darity, Mullen, and Slaughter, 2022; Logan and Myers, 2022).
