In this paper I argue for the position that the cannons of distributive justice as proposed by the Liberal Welfarists and Libertarians are structurally deficient in that they suggest a false dichotomy between two ways of ensuring the justice of the distributive system leading to a greater exercise of the freedom of the people. Liberty and Equality are not necessarily mutually exclusive nor are they individually exhaustive and sufficient. Authentic freedom is ultimately a combination of the values and essential element of liberty and equality.

Artykuł przedstawia argumenty na poparcie tezy, iż kanony sprawiedliwości dystrybutywnej, w postaci proponowanej przez zwolenników liberalizmu opiekuńczego i libertarian, są strukturalnie ułomne. Sugerują one bowiem rzekomą dychotomię między dwoma sposobami zapewnienia takiej sprawiedliwości systemu dystrybucji, która prowadziłaby do poszerzenia zakresu wolności ogółu. Liberalizm i równość nie muszą jednak wzajemnie się wykluczać; żadna z tych idei nie jest w pełni wystarczająca. Autentyczna wolność stanowi ostatecznie kombinację wartości oraz istotnych elementów liberalnych i równościowych.
