 Nevertheless, it is clearly important to emphasize the word “might” in the previous sentence. There is no reason why the basic grant we have imagined must be of equivalent value to a full social minimum. Indeed, if the relevant external assets are abundant, so that their market price is low, then the level of the grant might not come anywhere near this level. In such a situation, respect for self-ownership will rule out taking labor incomes to top up the grant. It is possible, therefore, that some people will be left with a level of resources below that necessary to lead a minimally decent life (see Cohen 1995: chapter 4, especially pp. 102–105). Thus, while left-libertarianism offers stronger support for enactment of a social minimum than conventional libertarianism does, this support is still highly contingent, and in many situations left-libertarianism will probably rule out as unjust the course of action needed to enact a full social minimum (taxation of labor incomes). Moreover, even if the resource grant is high enough to provide a full social minimum, some left-libertarians would argue that individuals should receive their basic grant as a capital lump-sum at the start of their adult life rather than as a periodic income payment and/or as a freely available bundle of  services.[4]  This raises the possibility that some people might “blow” their grants early in their adult lives and might then lack ready access to a social minimum.
