 Richard Arneson and others (Arneson 1999, 2000; Roemer 2004; and see Casal 2007: esp. 312–314, 315–318) have objected to thresholds, and especially those that designate an absolute priority—as is characteristic of the position of strong sufficientarianism—on the grounds that we cannot avoid an arbitrary specification of such priority thresholds and, further, that such thresholds are incompatible with our distributive convictions’ being continuous (that is, that they all can be accounted for by means of one principle of distribution). Others have defended a priority threshold against both objections (Crisp 2003: 753–757; Benbaji 2006: 332–344; Page 2007a: 16–18; Dorsey 2008; Huseby 2010b: 180–182; Freiman 2012: 30–33; Shields 2012: 111–115; Sher 2014: chs. 8 and 9; Meyer &amp; Pölzler forthcoming). In specifying a priority threshold one important issue is on what currency we should rely (see  §4.4).  .
