Abstract
Abstract Economic and social rights name sufficiency norms. These are distinct from equality norms, conceptually as well as practically. As a matter of logic, to remedy insufficiency is to challenge inequality only indirectly—or not at all. Of course, it is conceivable that pursuing sufficient provision will have egalitarian effects. But it is equally possible that sufficient provision is accompanied by no changes in or even expansion of inequality. It is for this reason that the pursuit of economic and social rights can function compatibly with the maintenance and even expansion of distributional inequality, whether within or across nations.
