This books presents a refreshing new analysis of disadvantage, and puts forward proposals to help
governments improve the lives of the least advantaged in their societies, thereby moving in the
direction of equality.
What does it mean to be disadvantaged? Is it possible to compare different disadvantages?
What should governments do to move their societies in the direction of equality, where equality is to
be understood both in distributional and social terms? Linking rigorous analytical philosophical theory
with broad empirical studies, including interviews conducted for the purpose of this book, Wolff and
de-Shalit show how taking theory and practice togedier is essential if the theory is to be rich enough
to be applied to the real world, and policy systematic enough to have purpose and justification.
This book is in three parts. Part
ι
presents a pluralist analysis of disadvantage, modifying the
capability theory of Sen and Nussbaum to produce the genuine opportunity for secure functioning
view. This emphasises risk and insecurity as a central component of disadvantage. Part
2
shows how to
identify the least advantaged in society even on a pluralist view. The authors suggest that disadvantage
dusters in the sense that some people are disadvantaged in several different respects. Thus identifying
the least advantaged is not as problematic as it appears to be. Conversely, a society which has declustered
disadvantaged
—
in the sense that no group lacks secure functioning on a range of functionings
—
has
made considerable progress in the direction of equality. Part
3
explores how to deduster disadvantage,
by paying special attention to corrosive disadvantages
—
those disadvantages which cause further
disadvantages
—
and fertile functionings
—
those which are likely to secure other functionings.
The analysis of the book will interest political philosophers, social policy theorists, and practitioners
involved in the design and delivery of actual social policy.
