Abstract
According to Robert Nozick, property distribution in a free market system is just. Since their holdings are "roughly their marginal products," people in a free market system have a right to their marginal products. Under Nozick's theory, justice is entitlement. An examination of the claim that persons in a free market system have a right to their marginal products is an examination of the entitlement conception of justice in holdings. This Article will consider whether individuals in a free market system, which Nozick favors, are justified in their holdings. The first part will seek a simplified version of the entitlement principles that stresses the importance of free choice in those principles. The remaining section will then test entitlement in the context of a free market system.
