 It is important to distinguish desert-payments from entitlements. For desert theorists a well-designed institutional structure will make it so that many of the entitlements people have are deserved. But entitlements and just deserts are not conceptually the same and regularly come apart. For instance, as Feinberg notes, a person can be entitled to assume the presidential office without deserving it (Feinberg 1970, 86) and a person who accidentally apprehends a criminal may be entitled to a reward but not deserve it. Conversely, a team may deserve to win the championship prize but not be entitled to it or a person may deserve an economic benefit but not be entitled to it. Indeed, these and many other instances of desert and entitlements coming apart provide the bases for desert theorists to argue for institutional reform. For desert theorists, the institutional structure should facilitate people’s economic entitlements (including one’s property holdings) tracking their just deserts.
