The question for Dworkin became:
What distribution of transferable resources (chiefly wealth) would engender an
overall distribution of resources (including the inalienable ones like talents and
early environments) that comprised an equal distribution?
For Dworkin, the natural distribution of resources is unjust, because it is unequal, but once equality of initial resources has been implemented, inequalities in
outcomes which emerge from the exercise of choices emanating from preferences
are morally acceptable.
