Economic Inequality and the Permissibility of Leveling Down.
In this paper I argue that the political and economic domains are analogous for distributive purposes. The upshot of this conclusion is that because we normally think that an unequal distribution of votes is objectionable even if these inequalities are strictly necessary to improve the lives of less...

Leveling down economic resources is therefore sometimes morally permissible. I consider and reject three types of objections to this view. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Ethical Theory & Moral Practice is a copyright of Springer, 2023.
