The redistribution system which emphasizes equality is the main way to dominate the world’s wealth distribution, but this system do not have a strong theoretical arguments, and this will definitely lead to difficulties in practice. So, it is very important to solve this plight.From analyses the controversy between Rawls and Nozick’s theory,this dissertation intend to explore the justice of redistribution deeply,the reason why chosen these two professors is that their argument reveals the core of the proposition. Equality is core of Rawls’s theory and freedom is the core of Nozick’s, their controversy is very significant. Nozick’s critique is very broad, from Rawls’s premise to his process of argumentation finally to the completion, Nozick criticized them exhaustively, but the criticism to Rawls is not reasonable. By analyzing the criticism of Nozick, this dissertation prove that the redistribution system is not only justice but also necessary.After research the difference of Rawls’s theory and Nozicks’, this dissertation found that equality is one of the connotations of freedom,they are not contradictory, on the contrary, equality is the premises to freedom, they can coexist. In addition, this dissertation through research of Game Theory find that:freedom and equality are not opposite theoretically. Freedom want achieve itself must contain equality in practice, both them are the core of distribution system witch want to be justice. Finally, this dissertation studied the Marx’s theory of distributive justice. Marx has revealed the hypocrisy of the capitalist system witch claims the core of it’s system is freedom. Marx claim that the capitalist system violated the freedom of the proletariat, so, the distribution system of it is not justice.All the demonstration witch from different aspects will come to the same conclusion:Against the redistribution system by the reason of violate freedom is lack of theory basis, so, it is not reasonable.
