Additional information

I wish to thank Louis Boon and Lionel S. Lewis for their helpful comments on an earlier version of this essay. The essay itself is the first product of a long-term project concerned with social justice and equality. To some extent, it draws upon, and overlaps with, my contribution to the review symposium on Robert Nozick's Anarchy, State, and Utopia published in this journal: Theory and Society 3 (1976) 437–458.
