Leaving Nothing to Chance - Equality As Luck Neutralization

This book argues that equality consists in the neutralization of luck. It shows that it is not only unfair for people to be worse off due to their class, sex, or race, but unfair for them to be worse off due to bad luck in how their choices work out.
