Fair and Square

Doing this last chapter of Utilitarianism by Mill made me pondered what is justice.

But there's also this peripheral question that popped up my mind: what if the world adopted Communism before Capitalism came about? Our moral values will be so different from what we have now... Self-interest is, perhaps, really counter-intuitive.

But then again, instinct led us to greed; and dogs became carnivorous.
