Inequality is widely regarded as morally objectionable: T. M. Scanlon investigates why it matters to us. Demands for greater equality can seem puzzling, because it can be unclear what reason people have for objecting to the difference between what they have and what others have, as opposed simply to wanting to be better off. This book examines six such reasons. Inequality can be objectionable because it arises from a failure of some agent to give equal concern to the interests of different parties to whom it is obligated to provide some good. It can be objectionable because it involves or gives rise to objectionable inequalities in status. It can be objectionable because it gives the rich unacceptable forms of control over the lives of those who have less. It can be objectionable because it interferes with the procedural fairness of economic institutions, or because it deprives some people of substantive opportunity to take part in those institutions. Inequality can be objectionable because it interferes with the fairness of political institutions. Finally, inequality in wealth and income can be objectionable because it is unfair: the institutional mechanisms that produce it cannot be justified in the relevant way. Scanlon's aims is to provide a moral anatomy of these six reasons, and the ideas of equality that they involve. He also examines objections to the pursuit of equality on the ground that it involves objectionable interference with individual liberty, and argues that ideas of desert do not provide a basis either for justifying significant economic inequality or for objecting to it.

新書,一個試圖把元、規範、應用三層打通的(待補充)範例,新鮮性沒有預想的強。最精彩的是對於Procedural Fairness和Substantive Opportunity的分析,可以拿來套包括教育(尤其是教育!)在內各種討論,但是沒有太強的新鮮感。總體而言,不錯吧,Scanlon為文清簡,風格和水準保持瞭。
評分這本書可以視為Scanlon的契約論在平等話題上的一個應用。但僅就本書而言,並不是很滿意:寫作上,不分小標題,很容易讓人讀飄;論證上,對可能的反對主張處理力度也不夠。

評分對平等/不平等的證成,采取一種製度依賴的路徑。特彆在應得部分反對不依賴製度的應得(以及能力)。大多數論證都是工具性的(確實有點飄),但作者在最後一頁也承認瞭至少平等關懷作為一種抽象層麵的理由,說明瞭最終還是有非工具性的證成。
