In his recent book, Bottlenecks: A New Theory of Equality of Opportunity, Joseph Fishkin takes on the task of proposing ‘a new way of thinking about equal opportunity and about the myriad of questions in law, public policy, and institutional design that center on notions of equal opportunity’ (1). For two reasons this is a quite ambitious task. One is that the literature on equal opportunity is now vast, which makes it hard to flesh out a novel contribution and relate it to existing positions. The other is that the idea of equality of opportunity seems relevant in so many different and diverse areas that discussing specific applications will almost always result in important areas being left out or not given sufficient attention. However, in pursuing his aim, Fishkin delivers an interesting account. Fishkin states that opportunities are important because of what they enable us to do and become, and because the opportunities open to us shape who we are (2, 3). He voices a number of reservations regarding how the literature usually engages with the idea of equality of opportunity. Importantly, he stresses that we tend to discuss equality of opportunities as ex ante structures, and tend to consider the ideal fulfilled once people have equal opportunities from birth (or upon entering adulthood) (7). According to Fishkin such reasoning fails to acknowledge the importance of opportunities available to people ‘along the way, including for those who have, for one reason or another, failed to jump through important hoops at particular ages’ (7).
