Sammendrag
A liberal egalitarian theory of justice seeks to combine the values of

equality, personal freedom and personal responsibility. It is considered

a much more promising position than strict egalitarianism, because it

supposedly provides a fairness argument for inequalities reflecting differences

in choice. However, we show that it is not possible to fulfil

this ambition. Inequalities can only be justified on the basis of incentive

considerations within a liberal egalitarian framework. Moreover,

we demonstrate that there is a surprisingly thin line between strict

egalitarianism and libertarianism, which implies that liberals easily

may end up as libertarians if they weaken their egalitarian ambitions.
