Question

A thought experiment from this book can face status quo bias according to Joshua Greene, who made a variant in which you wake up in a white room in the year 2659. This book claims that “whatever arises from a just situation by just steps is itself just” in the section “How Liberty Upsets Patterns.” This book uses the example of pouring (10[1])tomato juice (-5[1])into the sea to critique the idea that mixing one’s labor with land converts it to private (10[1])property, which it calls the Lockean proviso. This book presents the experience machine and utility monster thought experiments and critiques distributive justice by imagining a society in which many people choose to spend 25 cents to watch Wilt Chamberlain. For 10 points, name this libertarian response to John Rawls’s A Theory of Justice by Robert Nozick. ■END■
