Question

how far democracies lead to a just and equitable distribution of goods and opportunities? Explain by giving any three suitable arguements.

Answer 1

In actual life, democracies do not appear to be very successful in providing just and equitable distribution of goods and opportunities.
We can see that;

1. A small number of ultra-rich enjoy a highly disproportionate share of wealth and incomes, while the income of lower groups keep on declining even more.
2. Poor constitute large proportion of voters, they have political freedom but lack economic freedom, freedom from want and due to this are deprived of equal opportunities in a society.
3. The democratically elected governments do not take sufficient measures to eradicate poverty.
