AReducing monopolies
BReducing the dominance of one good across spheres ✓ Correct
CReducing competition
DA shared understanding of equality
Correct answer: (B) Reducing the dominance of one good across spheres — Complex equality means reducing the dominance of one good across different spheres, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Complex equality means reducing the dominance of one good across different spheres, so that is the answer.
★Michael Walzer set out the idea in Spheres of Justice.
★He argued that society has separate spheres, each with its own goods like money, office and honour.
★Each good should be distributed by its own proper principle within its sphere.
★Injustice arises when one good, such as money, dominates and buys advantages in other spheres.
★Complex equality is achieved when no single good can dominate across all spheres.
★This pluralist account differs from a simple equality of identical shares.
