Political Liberalism

by Rawls, John (1996)

Key Passage

Society as employer of last resort through general or local government, or other social and economic policies. Lacking a sense of long-term security and the opportunity for meaningful work and occupation is not only destructive of citizen’s self-respect but of their sense that they are members of society and not simply caught in it. This leads to self-hatred, bitterness, and resentment. (p.lix)
