Danielle Allen: Justice by Means of Democracy (EBook, 2023, University of Chicago Press) No rating

From leading thinker Danielle Allen, a bold and urgent articulation of a new political philosophy: …

Ch: Blind spot is mis-interpretation of Rawls. Although he tried to unite positive & negative liberty, he actually prioritized the negative: autonomy depends on well-governed state; not everyone will engage with politics, ie political equality is merely a good competing with other goods. This gave neolibs their opening, and the people permission not to use their voice. Ends by saying she is not going to fix Rawls.
