THE CONSTITUTIONAL FACES OF REDISTRIBUTION: THE ECONOMIC SIDE OF THE PRINCIPLE OF SOLIDARITY

Abstract

Abstract

Economic interspatial and intersubjective inequalities inherent to capitalism
were constitutionally faced by promulgating a social, democratic
and federalizable state, which teleological orientation is aimed
at obtaining a more equitable personal and territorial income distribution.
In this sense, adhering to the reasoning the economic justification
of the redistributive nature of some of the public earnings and
expenses, this paper develops a novel legal-economic approach to the
economic aspect of the constitutional principle of solidarity. Not in
vane, the traditional doctrine was attached to either the constitutional
clause that states the Inter-territorial Compensation Fund or to the
conjunction of the latter and the legal and extra constitutionem instruments
that channel the financial resources.
