HENRIQUEZ RAMIREZ, Alfonso. The problem of social richts: equality as a condition of freedom. A study of the chilean case. Rev. Jur. Der. [online]. 2020, vol.9, n.13, pp.39-50. ISSN 2413-2810.

Abstract We will argüe that the Chilean system is characterized by taking sides with an institutional model that is based on a certain conception of freedom, that sees with suspicion, any attempt to move towards a more egalitarian distribution of goods and rights. Next, we will prove that this visión is problematic, since it generates important inequalities in the enjoyment of fundamental guarantees, and in the possibilities that people have to freely develop their life plans. We will finish the work, supporting the thesis that freedom should be understood in a more robust way, this as a capacity forautonomy. This proposal allows usto account for the fact that equalitydoes not really constitute a principie that harms freedom, but, on the contrary, represents one of its budgets.

Keywords : Social rights; equality; freedom,; principie of targeting Chile.
