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 tomato juice into the sea to critique the idea that mixing one’s labor with land converts it to private property, which it calls the Lockean proviso. This (10[1])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 (10[1])by Robert Nozick. ■END■ (0[1])
