This was how people lived hundreds of years ago, perhaps Rawls theory would have found a home then, but not in present society.

I will be outlining three ‘challenges from the right’ aimed at Rawls’ theory of justice and discussing whether they succeed or not. Those from the ‘right’ are advocates of ensuring that freedom and liberty are maximized in society. Rawls’s theory of justice has been met by many challenges, especially from the philosopher Nozick.
