To maintain balance, the system must feature surplus recycling mechanisms that maintain the flow of surpluses from the future to the present, from the urban centres to the rural areas, from the developed regions to the less developed ones, etc.
Criteria for recycling surplus - the difference principle - all inequalities in the world - in favor of the worst-off members of world society
Dear Marita B Kuljis
My reading about Rawls ideas is came from two sides , first: what Rawls future should be ? , second : what is the best ideas that should be govern in different societies .
If you can make this separate you can understand what Rawls ideas at all
I think that interpreting the GRS as an application of Rawls' difference principle is prima facie plausible. However, for Rawls, the different principle comes third after two other principles in a weighted hierarchy: equal claim to equal rights and liberties established from the original position, and equality of opportunity to positions and offices.
His is a theory, it would seem, directed toward the political organization of individuals in one society. The GRS involves not just the organization of individuals but also the organization and relations of nations. A serious theoretical problem would seem to be construing nations as themselves somehow ever satisfying the first two, more heavily weighted, principles.
