Summary/Abstract: Economic product distribution inside society implies not only rationality calculus but also the analysis of some specific features of the social justice. The paper identifies the relationships among the concepts of complexity, sustainability, and diversity in social justice. In the same context a certain ambiguity maintained in the specialty terminology is clarified between the issue complicated and the issue complex regarding the systems and processes, by proposing a new signification for the complexity issue. Effects of synergy between sustainability and social justice are identified, and analysed both from the view point of fundamental causes leading to social imbalances and in terms of achieving environmental objectives which can lead to significant economic and social outcomes in terms of welfare and environmental quality. Regarding the diversity concept, the paper proposes as criterion the distinction between the commutative justice and the distributive justice thus separating what it is merited from what is fair in the distribution of economic product. Finally, an institutional and behavioral mechanism of the triad complexity, sustainability, diversity is proposed and examined.
