Health, Luck, and justice (HLJ) is an ambitious monograph that articulates a sophisticated luck-egalitarian theory of distributive justice and applies it to questions concerning the distribution of healthcare and health within and across nations. At the same time, it criticizes the two main egalitarian alternatives, Daniels's fair equality of opportunity account, and Anderson's sketchier democratic equality account. In laying out a luck egalitarian approach so lucidly, Shlomi Segall shows us not only the advantages of the luck egalitarianism that he argues for, but also its serious drawbacks both as a general view of distributive justice and specifically as a guide to justice with respect to healthcare and health.
