In this book, Frank Lovett (Political Science, Washington University in St. Louis, USA) argues that “societies are just to the extent that their basic structure is organized so as to minimize the expected sum total domination experienced by their (present and future) members, counting the domination of each member equally” (p.190). Chapter 7 of the book explores the implications of such a conception of justice. Among them, the idea of an unconditional basic income is carefully discussed by the author. In particular, Lovett tackles the issue of the optimal level of the grant, “a more difficult problem than one might expect” (p.200).
