Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.

Economia Politica, 2023
AbstractWe propose a formalization of the Difference Principle (maximin) by which Rawls’ contribution is shown to go beyond distributive value judgments in such a way as to embrace efficiency issues as well.

It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.
