by Summary:
Marx called the liberalism of the US and UK "bourgeois liberalism," that is, the freedom of capital (the ownership class). to exploit labor (workers) and land (the environment). The attempt John Rawls made to answer Marx from the vantage of Anglo-American liberalism was not successful. Liberalism as freedom and equality of persons is inherently incompatible with capitalism as private ownership and control of the means of production. Neither is it compatible with distribution through markets that are determined institutionally (legally) by the ownership class.While the article does not overcome the problem that Rawls proposes, like Marx before him, it does articulate the position of Rawls on this issue, which is now coming to a head socially, politically, and economically in the world

While the article does not overcome the problem that Rawls proposes, like Marx before him, it does articulate the position of Rawls on this issue, which is now coming to a head socially, politically, and economically in the world owing to neoliberal globalization, and particularly in the US and UK as bulwarks of Anglo-American liberalism.
