Abstract:
|
In this paper, I argue that John Rawls’s case for choosing property-owning democracy over welfare-state capitalism demonstrates that work plays a more important role in his account of justice than is often acknowledged. I highlight two ways in which work plays an important role in his account of justice as fairness. First, realizing justice requires that workers are not in relations of servitude at work, and second, it matters that people have meaningful work. If correct, the argument in this paper gives us reason to reject a commonly held view that Rawls’s theory of justice has little to say about relations at work and the content of work. |
