About this listen

What if we designed society before we knew who we’d be in it? Philosopher John Rawls asked that question in A Theory of Justice, and his answer was revolutionary. Fairness, he said, means building institutions that protect everyone, not just the powerful.

In this video, I explore how Rawls’ veil of ignorance could reshape politics, taxation, and economics today, and why justice must be built into policy rather than be added as charity.

What would you change if you didn’t know where you’d stand?
