‘Social justice,’ writes Hayek, ‘can be given a meaning only in a directed or “command” economy (such as an army) in which individuals are ordered what to do ... Indeed ... no free action of the individuals could produce results satisfying any principle of distributive justice’ (Hayek 1976, p. 69). Such an unequivocal position is no doubt rare. But the claim that the demands of distributive justice conflict with individual rights – in particular, the right to decision-making – is one that has often been made.
