| Resource-based view (RBV): The Resource-based view (RBV) in sociology looks at social relationships through the distribution of resources such as knowledge, money or social connections. It states that access to resources determines power and dynamics in social interactions and influences how people act, interact and organize themselves in societies. See also Society, Knowledge, Money, Power, Education._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Julian Lamont on Resource-based View (RBV) - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus i 227 Resource-based view (RBV)/Lamont: The hope of Dworkin(1) and other resource theorists is that institutions can be designed with [a] hypothetical ideal in mind: individuals enjoy the fruit of, or bear the burden of, their choices, but the negative impact of luck is shared by society, unless individuals choose to face the risk alone. >Inequlities/Resource-based view (RBV), >Distributive Justice/Resource-based view (RBV). Problems: though this ideal is plausible, its full implementation in a real economy requires what now seems impossible: the measurement of differences in people's natural talents. There is no philosophical or empirical agreement about which talents are natural, the result of individuals' choices, or largely influenced by social factors beyond an individual's control. A system of special assistance to the physically and mentally handicapped and to the ill would be a partial implementation of Dworkin's compensation system, but most natural inequalities would be untouched by these measures. Despite its theoretical advantages, therefore, it is difficult to see 'equality of resources' as a practical improvement on the difference principle, at least until there are answers to these implementation questions. >Desert/Political philosophy, >Distributive Justice/Libertarianism. 1.
