Abstract

Quotas; including youth quotas for representative institutions; are usually evaluated from within the social justice discourse. That discourse relies on several questionable assumptions; seven of which I critically address and radically revise in this contribution from a libertarian perspective. Temporal justice then takes on an entirely different form. It becomes a theory in which responsibilities are clear and cannot be shifted onto the shoulders of the weak and innocent. I shall only briefly sketch some outlines and general implications of such a theory; arguing that it offers too little guidance for our imperfect world. While that implies more tolerance for quotas; I nevertheless propose an alternative more suited to a representative; deliberative democracy: veto rights.
