 One potential legitimacy problem is the capability-list problem that we noted above in section  1.2.  To say what kind and level of resources are necessary for people to be able to lead “a minimally decent life in one’s society”, we must take a view about the functionings and capabilities that are constitutive of a decent human life, and any such view is bound to be somewhat controversial, perhaps especially if we are trying to define a social minimum transnationally or globally. Some people might not accept the capability-list used to determine the social minimum as the right list. We shall return briefly to this problem towards the end of this section, but only after first give some consideration to a second potential legitimacy problem which we also briefly noted in section  1.1:  the limit-setting problem. To recall the problem, consider once again item (2) on Nussbaum’s list of “central human functional capabilities”, as set out in section  1.2,  the capability for bodily health. What kind and level of access to health-care resources must a society secure for its members for us to say that this capability is satisfied to an extent that allows everyone to lead “a minimally decent life”? If we hold that a society must ensure access to whatever health-care resources have, say, a life-sustaining impact, then we may well be committing ourselves to spending the vast bulk of a society’s resources just on health-care. At some point limits must be set, or else the health-care sector will devour the whole social product (making it impossible, of course, to provide for other key capabilities). But, on the other hand, how can limits be set in a way that is fair and has legitimacy in the eyes of the people who will have to live with the consequences of these limit-setting decisions? How is it possible for communities to decide whether or not a new, expensive health-care treatment is in or out of the social minimum, and for this decision to have legitimacy in the eyes of the citizens?
