"Social justice encompasses economic justice."

14. Not directly

Yes, economically empowering a oppressed class will aid them in achieving social justice. But there's a hint of "trickle down" here. The economic justice will also tend to empower their oppressors as well. Social justice needs to be pursued "on it's own". One can argue the trickle down aspects just as well by suggesting that social justice empowers the oppressed to pursue economic justice.

And really, in the social justice sphere, is the problem that certain class of people will get treated differently than others and that will inhibit their access to economic justice through the power of the government. i.e. if the criminal justice system is treating people differently, that can affect their long term economic opportunities.
