Abstract: Justice – the most important virtue of social institutions Abstract: Justice is an area of ​​scientific research and the subject of theoretical works, similarly to the categories of truth, beauty or rationality. In this study, apart from some considerations on justice of a general nature, I focus on the issue of justice from the point of view of the interests and theoretical achievements of economics, as well as on the issue of territorial justice. To the question: what is territorial justice? – my proposed answer is as follows: territorial justice is a form of social justice that, in addition to the basic features associated with this concept, in relation to individuals and social groups takes into account their spatial conditions, treating space (territory) as a potential and real barrier to access to the principles of justice.
