Justice and Its atmosphere discusses rival notions which deal with justice 'as whatever else' - as equity, equality, or ethical instinct. Jasay states, "Theories of justice encouraged via the concept its functionality is to rectify the way in which of the realm through redistributing the nice and undesirable issues that take place to make up people's plenty are typically intellectually susceptible and at risk of the weapon of logic."

Carrying my rhetoric a little further, I have serious doubts whether we have even any moral right to make the decision, instead of letting spontaneity emerge, such as it will, by default. First- and Second-Order Orders The aspects of the social order we need more clearly to understand are common norm-like patterns of interaction in some domain of multi-person coexistence, which are useful to their adherents, hence Who Gave Us Order? [] durable and relatively predictable. Behavioral conventions are their typical example.
Wagner parts company with Hayekian and indeed all classical liberalism when he admits arguments for the legitimacy of intentional redistribution: for example, when individual charitable giving is conditional on enough others giving, too, so that charity functions as a public good the state can Pareto-optimally provide; when people are ‘‘risk-averse’’ and actually like progressive taxation as a form of insurance that even those who never collect from the policy are willing to buy; or when redistribution is the price all agree to pay to secure acceptance of the existing order by those who do least well under it.
But it is not, given that the property owner usually has a reasonably assured option of taking a free ride. If he sees a high enough probability that ‘‘society as a whole,’’ through the agency of the state, will look after his property and contracts along with those of everyone else (which is what Hayekian impartial and general law proposes), he need not look after it himself. The presence of the state, by holding out some more or less reliable prospect of publicly financed enforcement, unwittingly blunts the point of private efforts, if it does not render them pointless.
