Dworkin, "What is Equality? Part 2: Equality of Resources"

1)Dworkin writes, "Equality of resources supposes that the resources devoted to each person's life should be equal. That goal needs a metric."(p. 289). Why does this goal need a metric? How does the auction that Dworkin proposes provide such a metric?

2)Dworkin writes, "Insurance, so far as it is available, provides a link between brute and option luck because the decision to buy or reject catastrophe insurance is a calculated gamble."(p. 293). a)What is the difference between brute and option luck? b)Why does insurance provide a link between them?

3)Dworkin writes, "It would therefore violate equality of resources if the community were to redistribute Adrian's wealth"(p. 306). Why would it violate the equality of resources to redistribute Adrian's wealth?

4)Dworkin compares and contrasts a hypothetical insurance against handicaps and a hypothetical insurance against a lack of marketable skills. Describe one way in which Dworkin thinks these markets are similar and one way in which he thinks they are different.

5)In the final section, Dworkin contrasts his view with Rawls. Describe one difference.
