In an interesting post exploring the contemporary relevance of John Rawls' political theory, Mark Braund sums up well a key political problem of our times:

'people’s attitudes & behaviours are shaped by their experience of life, and the institutions through which they engage with others. If those institutions reward competitive behaviour, people will behave more competitively. Imagine what would happen if they rewarded cooperation instead'...
