One of the principal themes of Walzer\'s critique of liberal capitalism is that it is insufficiently egalitarian. Walzer\'s case against the economic inequality generated by Line capitalism and in favor of \"a radical redistribution of wealth\" is presented in a widely cited essay entitled \"In Defense of Equality.\" The most striking feature of Walzer\'s critique is that, far from rejecting the principle of reward according to merit, Walzer insists on its validity. People who excel should receive the superior benefits appropriate to their excellence. But people exhibit a great variety of qualities—\"intelligence, physical strength, agility and grace, artistic creativity, mechanical skill, leadership, endurance, memory, psychological insight, the capacity for hard work—even moral strength, sensitivity, the ability to express compassion.\"Each deserves its proper recompense, and hence a proper distribution of material goods should reflect human differences as measured on all these different scales. Yet, under capitalism, the ability to make money (\"the green thumb of bourgeois society\")enables its possessor to acquire almost \"every other sort of social good,\" such as the respect and esteem of others.

关键句是“The most striking feature of Walzer\'s critique is...insist on validity",因为说了strikin ...
哦,我理解你为什么会这么想了。你把题干中的“its”理解为"the principle of reward的。。。"了吧,然后就和文中的its validity对应起来了。但句子问的是:W‘s interpretation is distinctive for its。。。?是说W的interpretation怎样怎样,和文中的its validity指代的the principle of reward不是一回事。
