“Interesting debate in the comments section.”

I agree, It’s even better than the article itself.

I looked at a couple other articles in the site and they’re all thought provoking. Good place for the philosophically inclined.

I found the following one particularly interesting because it discusses an issue that is at the heart of today’s politics. The idea of “luck egalitarianism” which is at the bottom of today’s “social justice” movements.

Thanks. Similar to Obama’s “you didn’t build that” mentality.

It ignores the economic efficiency of an entity that knows how to allocate capital well, as opposed to a vote-grab.

The people that Rawls wants the state to control (those with property, education, and so on) are the same people that Rawls thinks control the state itself. So how can the state control the rich if the rich control the state? Shouldn’t we instead expect state intervention into the economy to favor the rich? Indeed, this is exactly what we see in many cases: subsidies, licensing, trade restrictions, housing regulations, and so on tend to benefit the rich at the expense of the poor.
