After reading his book a few days ago, I'm a
Rawlsian. I believe that economic and social inequality is justified if it
- Gives the greatest benefit to the most needy
- Gives everyone the opportunity to end up at any point in the scale
Basically capitalism can only ever be more justified than socialism if the least off benefit more from capitalism than they do from socialism.
It's not
So I'm a socialist until capitalism gets better.
