- Abstract
- According to Real Freedom for All (henceforth RFA), social justice demands that one should introduce an unconditional basic income for every citizen, pitched at the highest sustainable level compatible with the protection of everyone's formal freedom and the satisfaction of some criterion for the adequate compensation of handicaps. Unsurprisingly many disagree, including — though in very different ways and to different extents — the four thoughtful contributors to a stimulating PEGS symposium.1 In this short response, I shall leave aside minor quibbles, misattributions or misunderstandings and concentrate on what I regard as the most threatening or interesting challenges.
