Robert Nozick, in his book "Anarchy, State, and Utopia," presents a libertarian view of justice that emphasizes individual rights and entitlement. He argues for a minimal state that exists only to protect individuals' rights, including property rights, and contends that any redistribution of wealth is unjust unless it arises from voluntary transactions. Nozick's entitlement theory suggests that justice is determined by how holdings are acquired and transferred, rather than by patterns of distribution or outcomes. Thus, he opposes any form of redistributive justice that seeks to achieve equality or social welfare beyond protecting individual liberties.
