Social Justice in Practice: On the Political Implications of Radical Liberalism

Simon Birnbaum

Chapter Chapter 7 in Basic Income Reconsidered, 2012, pp 171-204 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the preceding chapters I have sought to establish that there are many reasons to find the idea of a universal and unconditional stake attractive if one accepts certain liberal-egalitarian starting points associated with the Rawlsian project. An unconditional set of universal social rights can be justified as a way of supporting a brute-luck-countering (maximin-guided, i.e., efficiency-sensitive) equalization of the freedom to do whatever one might want to do.
