Some people are the victims of luck—that is, of the effect of events and things beyond their control—that is both bad and worse than the luck of others. This is a problem for egalitarians, since luck is at the source of many of the differences in the circumstances of individuals. But egalitarians are not bothered by every variety of luck. Ronald Dworkin, for example, has drawn a distinction between two types of luck—”option luck” and “brute luck”—and has argued that the former does not necessarily give rise to inequalities that are unjust.’ Option luck, as he defines it, is “a matter of how deliberate and calculated gambles turn out—whether someone gains or loses through accepting an isolated risk he or she should have anticipated and might have declined.” Brute luck, by contrast, is “a matter of how risks fall out that are not in that sense deliberate gambles.
