[I]deology is unavoidable in economics because... [of] values and an organizing system of thought... preconceived notions of how the world works. Thi… - John Komlos

Rawls says... let's design an economy... in such a way that you would be willing to enter that society at random. That's a just society... You don't know your position in it. You don't know whether you're smart or dumb. You don't know your skin color. You don't know your gender. You don't know your parents. You don't know anything about yourself. ...[In that case] we wouldn't design a society like it is today. You would make sure that there is an equitable distribution of power.... that the power is not concentrated... that there is countervailing power, that wealth is not concentrated...

[F]ree markets, being a human invention, often become dysfunctional; they do not deserve our blind faith.

[The need for [j]ustice [and morality] is innate in human beings, and mainstream economics neglects [ethics,] justice [and morality].
