Money justice—defined as money offered and paid to victims in the aftermath of wrongs—permeates society and everyday life. Current mechanisms of money justice are civil justice awards or out-of-court settlements for personal or cultural injury; redress programs or schemes for mass atrocities, political repression, historical injustice, and institutional abuse; and payments for war-related wrongs, terrorism, violent common crime, and contaminated blood products, among many others. In this article, we elucidate the concept of money justice, sketch the relationship of revenge and recompense in human history, distil relevant research, and put forward the money justice matrix, which provides a systematic way to analyse money payments (or lack of payments) in varied contexts of victimisation and with different justice mechanisms. Money justice is a new concept that analyses diverse wrongs studied in criminology, socio-legal studies, other social sciences, transitional justice, and historical injustice. Its contribution to new knowledge is two-fold. First, it will map and compare payments to survivors for diverse wrongs, investigate why payments differ, and assess inequalities in payments. Second, it will critically examine the money justice paradox. If, as victims say, money cannot recompense a wrong, why is money sought by victims and offered as justice? More generally, what does money achieve (or not achieve) as justice and for victims?

金钱正义（定义为在过错之后向受害者提供和支付的金钱）渗透到社会和日常生活中。当前的金钱正义机制是民事司法裁决或人身或文化伤害的庭外和解；针对大规模暴行，政治镇压，历史不公正和机构虐待的补救方案或计划；以及与战争有关的错误，恐怖主义，暴力普通犯罪和受污染的血液制品等的支付。在本文中，我们阐明了货币正义的概念，勾勒了人类历史上报仇与报偿的关系，虚假地进行了相关研究，并提出了货币正义矩阵，该矩阵为分析货币支付（或缺乏支付）提供了一种系统的方法。在不同的受害情况下和不同的司法机制中。金钱正义是一个新概念，可以分析犯罪学，社会法律研究，其他社会科学，过渡时期正义和历史不公等方面研究过的各种错误。它对新知识的贡献有两个方面。首先，它将绘制并比较向幸存者支付的各种错误的赔偿，调查为什么支付不同的原因，并评估支付的不平等性。其次，它将严格审查货币正义悖论。如果像受害者所说的那样，金钱不能弥补错误，那么为什么受害者要寻求金钱并提供正义呢？更笼统地说，金钱能为正义和受害者实现（或无法实现）什么？它将绘制并比较向幸存者支付的各种错误的赔偿，调查为什么支付有差异，并评估支付中的不平等现象。其次，它将严格审查货币正义悖论。如果像受害者所说的那样，金钱不能弥补错误，那么为什么受害者要寻求金钱并提供正义呢？更笼统地说，金钱能为正义和受害者实现（或无法实现）什么？它将绘制并比较向幸存者支付的各种错误的赔偿，调查为什么支付有差异，并评估支付中的不平等现象。其次，它将严格审查货币正义悖论。如果像受害者所说的那样，金钱不能弥补错误，那么为什么受害者要寻求金钱并提供正义呢？更笼统地说，金钱能为正义和受害者实现（或无法实现）什么？
