A Free and Fair Economy: A Game of Justice and Inclusion

Frequent violations of fair principles in real-life settings raise the fundamental question whether such can guarantee existence a self-enforcing equilibrium free economy. We show that elementary distributive justice pure-strategy Nash exists finite economy where agents freely (and non-cooperatively) choose their inputs and derive utility from pay. Chief among these is that: 1) your pay should not depend on name, 2) more productive agent earn less. When are violated, an may exist. Moreover, we uncover intuitive condition---technological monotonicity---that guarantees uniqueness efficiency. generalize our findings to economies with social inclusion, implemented form progressive taxation redistribution, guaranteeing basic income unproductive agents. Our analysis uncovers new class strategic games by incorporating normative into non-cooperative game theory. results rely no particular assumptions, setup entirely non-parametric.
