CMichael Walzer's theory of Justice as complex equality ✓ Correct
DNozick's entitlement theory of Justice
Correct answer: (C) Michael Walzer's theory of Justice as complex equality — Equalizing power through distribution is the theme of Walzer's complex equality.
Explanation
★Equalizing power through distribution is the theme of Walzer's complex equality.
★Walzer wanted to stop any one group from converting power in one sphere into dominance everywhere.
★His complex equality distributes different social goods by different criteria in different spheres.
★Money should govern the market, merit the academy, need the family, and so on, kept separate.
★This blocks the dominance of wealth or office across all areas of life.
★Rawls focuses on primary goods and the worst off, not directly on equalizing power.
★Dworkin focuses on equal resources, and Nozick rejects patterned distribution altogether.
