Criticisms:
Critics of the Lockean Proviso often point to the outstanding issue that it's distribution does not account for the property people may have already gained under a previous distribution. This can lead to unfair advantages in the new distribution. One such critic, G.A. Cohen provides an example stating that "one can satisfy Nozick’s proviso by ‘acquiring’ a beach and charging $1 admission to those who previously were able to use the beach for free, so long as one compensates them with a benefit they deem equally valuable, such as a clean-up or life-guarding service on the beach. However, the beach-goers would have been even better off had the more efficient organizer among them acquired the beach, charging only 50 cents for the same service, but this alternative is never considered under Nozick’s proviso "(Cohen, 1995).
