John Rawls has a fair claim to the title of the most overrated philosopher of the 20th century. His book “A Theory of Justice” operates in the philosophical realm just in the same way as John Maynard Keynes’ book “The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money” operates in the realm of economics. Both provide intellectual cover for all kinds of government meddling through their vague and often foolish notions.

Bravo to Professor Schaefer for saying that the emperor is wearing no clothes.
