Quote by Rawls, John
"The basic structure operates as a background justice that sets the framework for all other institutions."
More from Rawls, John
"Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought."
"Each person possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override."
"The principles of justice are chosen behind a veil of ignorance."
"A just society must arrange social and economic inequalities so that they benefit the least advantaged members."
