I re-read Eric Mack’s “Blind Injustice” [updated link], an excellent overview and critique of John Rawls’s A Theory of Justice. Rawls’s book is the most influential work of academic political philosophy in the last half-century, and Mack’s essay is the best short analysis I know of.
By contrast: The moral basis for Rand’s liberalism, in the Philosophers, Explained series.
The link to “Blind Justice” goes to a placeholder domain.

I haven’t read Mack’s critique on Rawls. How does it compare to the demolition of Rawl’s “Theory of Justice” in the 1973 essays “An Untitled Letter” parts 2 and 3, by Rand?
