"The natural distribution is neither just nor unjust; nor is it unjust that persons are born into society at some particular position. These are simply natural facts. What is just and unjust is the way that institutions deal with these facts." - J. Rawls, A Theory of Justice
My recently-published essay "Missing the Forests for the Trees: Justice and Environmental Economics" is currently in competition for an Essay Prize from Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy (CRISPP). Glancing at the list of competing essays, I don't think that I would vote for mine, but it's nice to be in such good company.

Steve Vanderheiden is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder. His imagination is just active enough that he can anticipate having surplus observations about life on the political theory tenure-track remaining after claims to his time from teaching and research are met, but not so active so as to believe that others would be interested in reading them.
