• In Chapter 4 of the text, the author examines
  commutative justice across the generations (see
  Section 4.5). This idea arises from the writings
  of British political thinker Edmund Burke (1790)
• Society is indeed a contract a partnership in
  all art, a particular in every virtue, and in all
  perfection. As the ends of such a partnership
  cannot be obtained in many generations, it
  becomes a partnership not only between those who
  are living, but between those who are living,
  those who are dead, and those who are to be
  born
• (Reflections on the French Revolution, para. 165)
• Burkes idea of a social contract between
  generations is often cited in contemporary
  debates about the spiraling nation debt of the
  United States. What do young and old citizens
  living today owe, as a matter of commutative
  justice, to generations of citizens who are not
  yet born? Is it just for todays citizens to
  demand policies (e.g., low taxes and high levels
  of government service) that create huge debts for
  future generations to pay?
