Is social justice just? Is it consistent with democracy? What are the challenges inherent in choosing social justice goals in a market economy? Policies intended to achieve social justice goals must be planned and executed in a world of scarcity - where wants are many, resources are few, and choices must be made. Over the last seventy years, Kenneth J. Arrow, James M. Buchanan, Friedrich A. Hayek, and Amartya Sen – all Nobel prize winners - have tried to answer these questions. Their answers point out the difficulties and, in some cases, the impossibilities of current attempts to achieve social justice through a democratic process in a world of scarcity. Study concludes with guidance for those who seek develop realistic social justice policies.

The notion of a possible world is central to logic, philosophy, mathematics, and language study. Consider the following intuitive definition: "A contradiction is a statement that fails to be true in any possible world." But, what is a possible world? And are possible worlds real? If possible worlds are real, then how does the actual world, in which our cosmos exists, differ from a possible world? Philosophers studied this notion for more than 2000 years. The past century, finally, witnessed remarkable progress in answering those questions.
