En lightened self interest is the greatest force for good in this world, end of sentance.
To add to why the cake splitting is fair- in a market, you have reputation capital- if you're an unfair cake cutter, eventually people will go elsewhere. Everyone wants what's best for themselves, and if they give what they can, and get what they earn...that strikes me as just.
The people who wail about life not being fair because they don't have as much money as someone else or want something for free should get off their ass and work for it. My humble opinion.
