About this book

A common defence of free-market inequality holds that unequal incomes are fair because they are deserved, and that free people are entitled to what they get. Serena Olsaretti argues that this defence does not hold up on closer examination.

The book examines the principle of desert and the notions of liberty and choice that these defenders invoke. Its claim is that a conception of justice able to accommodate those notions would call for their elimination.
