Notes

1. For one plausible explanation of part of the injustice of such a benevolent dictator, see Pettit's account of freedom as nondomination (Pettit 2011).

2. What is sufficiently far from the ideally just outcome and correctable at a reasonable cost depends on the true theory of justice regarding outcomes. For example, on a utilitarian theory of just outcomes, an outcome would be sufficiently unjust and correctable if it were significantly worse in terms of utility than an alternative available outcome. Other theories may instead focus on rights violations, inequality, or other sources of injustice.
