Picture a perfect society. What does it look like? - Joseph Lacey (2024x32)

: 18, 2024

A group of strangers have gathered to design a just society. To ensure none of them rig the system, they’ve been placed under a veil of ignorance. Under this veil, they’re blind to information about age, sex, profession, wealth, religion, and so on. Can they build a fair society where everyone has the resources they need? Joseph Lacey details John Rawls' classic thought experiment. Lesson by Joseph Lacey, directed by Eoin Duffy.
