In A Theory of Justice, John Rawls seems to argue that we can settle which political and economic regimes are best a priori, using the tools of philosophy alone. In contrast, consider Greg Cochran's (@gcochran99) non-ideal rebuttal of Rawlsian justice theory:pic.twitter.com/FUe993rFqq
Cochran is right. Throughout human history, almost all people everywhere lived under what we now would refer to as absolute poverty. In the past 200 years, per capita world product has increased by a factor of at least 30. Almost everyone got richer, including the poorest regionspic.twitter.com/mwtVl0A8Vm
There is truth to that, but there's also truth to what Rawls said: people measure how well-off they are relatively to others *in their current society and time*, not just in absolute terms. This isn't a bug, it's a feature of human nature.
Rawls says that when choosing an inn on a freezing winter night, choose the one that is burning the furniture.
Cochran making a ideal philosophical argument too, albeit in his inimitable style. He's simply added the idea of technical progess to the model.
In this theory you want to maximize both technological progress and birthrate though, which may be tricky.

Behind the veil of ignorance, you not only don’t know your economic station, but also you allocation of physical, linguistic and cognitive abilities, right? So isn’t your preference [drool]?
