Re: The Quasi part (4.00 / 3)
Your target is more of the utilitarian kind (thanks for the tip: it's not utilitarist, that's the French word...).

I guarantee you that Rawls asks for the condition of the worst off to be maximised. I read A Theory of Justice, and you may look it up in the Wikipedia entry if you wish.

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
