To understand Nozick's rationalization of inequality. look to his assumption that possession of property indicates an inherent right to that property. So when an employer keeps all of the profits from a business, taking from the employees who do the work that created those profits, Nozick assumes that the employer is justified in that act because he could complete that act.
