From relational equality to personal responsibility

According to relational egalitarians, equality is not primarily about the distribution of some good but about people relating to one another as equals. However, compared with other theorists in political philosophy – including other egalitarians – relational egalitarians have said relatively little on what role personal responsibility should play in their theories. For example, is equality compatible with responsibility? Should economic distributions be responsibility-sensitive? This article fills this gap. I develop a relational egalitarian framework for personal responsibility and show that relational equality commits us to responsibility. I develop two sets of arguments. First, I draw on relational theories of moral responsibility – particularly Strawsonian views – to show that valuable egalitarian relationships require responsibility. Second, I show why relational equality sometimes requires that economic distributions be sensitive to responsibility and choice. I also defend a seemingly paradoxical result: being committed to responsibility, relational egalitarianism not only justifies some distributive inequalities but some relational inequalities too. Overall, relational egalitarianism gives a nuanced and coherent answer as to why and how responsibility matters from within egalitarianism. That it does should be an important argument in its favour.

The COVID‐19 pandemic broke out at a time when there were heightened uncertainties in the global economy. Understanding these uncertainties provides an important background for analyzing the impact of the pandemic on the global economy, assessing the effectiveness of those policy measures in combating the pandemic and reviving the global economy, and predicting the trajectory of the economic recovery in post‐pandemic era. We analyze how COVID‐19 would likely deepen some existing malaise in the global economy, and what could be done to redress these problems while managing economic recovery from the crisis and beyond. We argue that three fundamental factors which could lead to a solid recovery in the post pandemic era are structural reform, new technology and re‐integration which could be managed through instituting a new “global social contract.” Supported by strong public policies at all levels especially at national levels, the tripartite could serve as salvation of the global economy recovering or re‐emerging from this pandemic crisis.

ZusammenfassungDie ökonomische Ungleichheit steht im Fokus der aktuellen politischen Debatte. Paul Hufe, Andreas Peichl und Marc Stöckli zeigen in diesem Artikel, wie die Einkommen, der Konsum und die Vermögen in Deutschland verteilt sind. Dabei erläutern sie, welche Konzepte und Datengrundlagen in der Forschung zur Anwendung kommen und welche Schwierigkeiten bestehen. Sie zeigen, dass die Einkommens- und Konsumungleichheit in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten deutlich zugenommen hat, sich seit einigen Jahren aber stabilisiert. Die schlechte Datenverfügbarkeit erschwert dabei eine umfassende Analyse. Insbesondere in Bezug auf die Vermögen ist es schwierig, detaillierte Aussagen über deren Verteilung zu treffen.
