Resumen

Drawing primarily on the normative ethics and welfare economics literature on equality of opportunity, there is now widespread consensus on the basic principle of distributive justice: inequalities due to circumstances beyond people's control are unfair (and should be compensated for), while inequalities due to differing efforts are not seen as having ethical or policy salience. That is to say governments should pursue equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. After an analytical distinction where two very different conceptions of equality of opportunity are discussed, the article concludes that in today's societies there is broad justification for (some) equality of outcome - even if our goal is equality of opportunity.
