What if you were designing a society, but you didn't know what your place would be within it and where you would sit on the scale of inequality? What would you like that society to look like? This is the thought experiment central to the work of the political philosopher John Rawls and expanded on by author, economist, and philosopher Daniel Chandler in his new book, 'Free and Equal: What Would a Fair Society Look Like?' In this episode of Forward Vision, Daniel joins us to discuss how Rawls offered political theories that are useful practically, how they could be applied in the organisations we work in and, with a general election looming, for wider society.
