    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Collective goods provided through state cooperation trigger obligations of reciprocity in all recipients
      ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Nozick's entitlement theory demonstrates that legitimate holdings arising from voluntary exchanges carry no redistributive obligations even within shared institutions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Stuart White's 'fair reciprocity' standard requires only that contributors receive proportional returns, not that unchosen natural or social advantages be neutralized across all participants.
