Fairness of performance
Performance equity describes one of the principles of distributive justice , according to which, for example, the distribution of income within a society is considered fair if the income corresponds to the value of the performance of the respective members of the society. How exactly the respective performance can be measured, however, is controversial.
The fairness of performance stands in contrast to the principle of fairness to needs , according to which income is distributed to the members of society according to the needs . It is similar with distributive justice, in which all individuals are given the same amount of a good . Friedrich August von Hayek contradicts the widespread view that fairness of performance is the principle underlying a market economy . It is true that the competitive process in the market tends to promote a proportionality of performance and yield. Ultimately, however, market incomes were also based on supply and demand . Hayek therefore argues that such a notion of fairness does not apply to the distribution resulting from the competitive process. Rather, it is fair to observe the rules of the competitive process (→ regularity ).
