Forget about equality
Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal 6 (2):129-144 (1996)
| Abstract | : Justice is widely thought to consist in equality. For many theorists, the central question has been: Equality of what? The author argues that the ideal of equality distorts practical reasoning and has deeply counterintuitive implications. Moreover, an alternative view of distributive justice can give a better account of what egalitarians should care about than can any of the competing ideals of equality | |||||||||
