Living standards and capabilities: equal values or equal sets?
Analyse and Kritik: Zeitschrift fur Sozialtheorie,
29(2), 226-234.
Inspired by Gaertner and Xu (2006), this paper examines the possibility to construct a social ordering over distributions of capability sets, and a measure of the value of individual capability sets, such that perfect equality of sets, across individuals, is preferable to a simple equality of the value of sets. It is shown that this is a rather demanding requirement.
