Ep. #19 - Justice in Rawls's Veil of Ignorance: Part II - a podcast by Eric Roark

What principles of justice would people agree to under a veil of ignorance that prevents them know things about themselves such as their ethnicity, gender identity, and sexual orientation? John Rawls says, the 'difference principle' and the 'liberty principle'.  On this episode we break down and discuss each of these ideas.
