The new Winter 2021/22 issue of The Independent Review is now available.

Alexander Rawls—the son of philosopher John Rawls—argues that the theory of “justice as fairness” does not adequately handle the question of what people actually deserve. A theory of justice that ignores the costs of adjudicating disputes is simply an invitation to rent-seeking. The issue also contains articles from three prominent young philosophers assessing Alexander Rawls’ insights into his father's work.
 
Also in this issue: What Is a Classical Liberal Constitution?; The Chicago Boys in Chile; A Tribute to Steven G. Horwitz; and more.
