> What do you find compelling in Rawls theory? He is considered the arch-villain in libertarian circles, but I can see some logic in his statements about inherent inequality. However, his solutions amount to lottery, and for me, lotteries are extremely unfair to begin with.
I think the Veil of Ignorance is extremely compelling, and I think leads inextricably to equal rights for natural resources, open borders, etc. A lot of his reasoning I don't agree with-- he thinks all actors behind the Veil would perform minimax analyses, which is unjustified. However, I think the overall thought experiment is very valid.
As for your disagreements with Rand-- is there anything you disagree with Georgism about?
