Abstract

“Justice” has been analyzed by the great world philosophers, among the four schools of thought, namely utilitarianism,  social contract, enlightenment, and buddhist paths. Economic equality measures justice.  The economic inequality consists of income inequality  and wealth inequality.  High inequality leads to political  conflict,  violence and loss.  Public policy solutions to reorganize Thai resources are allocated for all Thais.  Wealth tax should be levied on Thai billionaires. Policy recommendations should be adhering to buddhist principles in buddhist paths for sustainable peace.
