Why compensate the naturally handicapped
pp. 231-274
Abstrakt
When the inability to compete is not due to invidious past discrimination of the social system but to natural inequalities, the accident of birth, the luck of the draw —however one wishes to put this— what is required by the equalitarian commitment to equal rights?… In the long run the answer to this question may be far more significant for social justice than the answer to the question of compensation for past invidious discrimination.179
