Justice distribution “Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.” ― Wendell Berry Retribution

The Liberal Tradition Progressives Libertarians Key value – Freedom as equality of opportunity and quality of living Want a welfare state that makes sure no one falls below a certain basic standard of living Favor a progressive tax system in which the wealthy pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes Libertarians Key value – Freedom as personal liberty to do as one pleases Want a minimal government with power limited to courts, police, and military Oppose any income tax, except, perhaps, a minimal flat tax for the minimal government

Two Views of Freedom Libertarians Progressives Freedom = being left alone to do what I want (negative freedom) Progressives Freedom = having the obstacles that keep me from living fully removed (Positive Freedom)

Nozick's argument for Libertarianism It is my money! I EARNED it! I DESERVE it! Meritocracy – the view that those who do well in society earned it, and that those who do poorly deserve it.

Rawls' argument for Progressivism A Theory of Justice (1971) “against Meritocracy ” The amount of money you make is largely a result of dumb luck, in two ways 1) what talents you are born with, and 2) supply an demand How much you earn does NOT depend on what you morally deserve
