David Schmidtz on Rawls, Nozick, and Justice

David Schmidtz, Professor at the University of Arizona, discusses the ideas of John Rawls and Robert Nozick on economic justice. They explore Rawls' concept of fairness, the role of the state in redistribution, the notion of power and corruption, and the influence of society on individual circumstances. The chapter also delves into the dark reign of King Leopold of Belgium and sets the stage for future discussions on justice and inequality.
