According to Dworkin’s distributive scheme, the free and informed choice of persons determines the fair distribution and redistribution of resources. They decide what resources they need to realise their life projects. Moreover, if this scheme satisfies the regulative principle of equal concern, then the notion of liberty and equality are no longer antagonistic. This way, holds Dworkin, it is possible to ground a liberal egalitarian community. This paper elaborates on both the notion of person and responsibility attribution to justify that, by understanding the conditions of free and informed choice as individual basic capacities, Dworkin’s theory of justice is not only a theory of equality of resources, but also of equality of capacities.
