This paper debates the concept of social justice in Europe and puts it in parallel with economic results. All of us want to live in a fair and just society, where the relationships between individuals are democratic, that includes the same opportunities and social privileges or an equitable distribution of wealth. In this context, is it true that a high level of economic growth has as consequence a high level for social justice? We want to see if this supposition is valid for European countries and also to spot the Romanian position with reference to social justice in conjunction to economic growth.
