Modern money theory is a conjecture concerning fiscal spending and the nature of money. I
show that modern money theory provides two interesting insights into distributive justice that have not
been addressed in the recent Anglo-American distributive justice literature: (i) that the nature of a
sovereign fiat currency allows for some distributive conflicts to be avoided; and (ii) that recent Anglo-
American distributive justice theories assume that the economy is at capacity. Based on this, I consider
if the policy results of modern money theory can help foster a sense of justice
