Sandel, sounds interesting, perhaps in an amateurish way.
Better, though, than what Americans are generally thinking about, by a country mile.
Follower of Rawls, perhaps. (Looking, later, at Wikipedia, he is a 'critic'....)
Justice as Fairness; not really doable, ever, as a permanent doctrine, unfortunately.
Unfortunately, Rawls is not really worth criticizing.
So, Sandel's whole raison d'etre is, so to speak, at least for someone serious, passe.
Most Americans, and apparently a huge number of Asians, are not privy to this elementary insight.
