There is a long tradition in social policy of discussing and critiquing the notion of 'deservingness' in relation to 'the poor'. This paper will apply such debates to 'the rich' to consider the grounds on which this group might be considered 'deserving'. The paper identifies three sets of arguments. The first set of arguments concerns the appropriateness ofrewardingmerit/hard work/effort/risk-taking etc. The second concerns more consequentialist/economic arguments about providingincentivesfor wealth creation. And the third considers thecharacterand behaviour of the rich. As well as discussing the potential criteria for deservingness, the paper will also debate whether thedegreeof income and wealth gained by the rich is deserved. Finally, the paper will discuss the social policy implications, including taxation policies, which emerge from this debate
