“In the early 1960s, Rawls wrote that the injustices of Jim Crow were not a topic for philosophical discussion. The morality of Jim Crow was clear-cut in its brutal injustice. The circle around Rawles was more concerned with what Isaiah Berlin declared the 'most fundamental of all political questions' - the problem of political obligation, and its mirror, disobedience. Ethical philosophers concerned with finding a moral basis for the rules of society now looked for a moral basis for breaking them.”

“In twentieth-century political thought about the future, the main dividing line when it came to institutions was between those who supported planning and the attempt to command the future and those who rejected planning in the name of the market or individual freedom. In the early Cold War, the importance of leaving individual futures open became a feature of defenses of liberalism and capitalism: where neoliberals and social liberals disagreed was about how much and what kind of institutional intervention was required to secure the conditions of an open future.”
