Abstract
Over the years, egalitarian philosophers have made some challenging claims

about the nature of egalitarianism. They have argued that the Rawlsian leximin

principle is not an egalitarian idea; that egalitarian reasoning should

make us reject the Pareto principle; that the numbers should not count within

an egalitarian framework; that egalitarianism should make us reject the property

of transitivity, that the Pigou-Dalton principle needs modification, and

that the intersection approach faces deep problems. In this paper, taking the

recent philosophical debate on equality versus priority as the starting point, I review these claims from the point of view of an economist.
