This book offers a new and compelling account of distributive
justice and its relation to choice. Unlike luck egalitarians, who
treat unchosen differences in people's circumstances as sources of
unjust inequality to be overcome, Sher views such differences as
pervasive and unavoidable features of the human situation.
Appealing to an original account of what makes us moral equals, he
argues that our interest in successfully negotiating life's
ever-shifting contingencies is more basic than our interest in
achieving any more specific goals. He argues, also, that the
state's obligation to promote this interest supports a principled
version of the view that what matters about resources, opportunity,
and other secondary goods is only that each person have enough. The
book opens up a variety of new questions, and offers a distinctive
new perspective for scholars of political theory and political
philosophy, and for those interested in distributive justice and
luck egalitarianism.
