Flow snapshot — how the answer moves
Intro routes
R1 fairness judged by results, not chances → equal distribution of income / wealth → most radical egalitarianism R2 focus shifts from starting point to end result → distributive equality → fairness measured at the finish
Body flow
concept (results over chances) → socialist / substantive defence → Marxist abolition of classes → Rousseau (inequality enslaves poor, corrupts rich) → libertarian critique → Hayek (rule of law vs material equality) → Nozick (just steps) → Sen (capabilities redirect)
Counter-view
coercion + conflict with equality before law + self-ownership vs dignity and substantive equality
Conclusion routes
R1 targets real deprivation, but best realised as substantive freedom, not enforced sameness R2 Sen’s capability shift reframes outcome equality as real freedom rather than identical results
