london workshop cast 2018 - nozick's theory lyrics

Loading...

[robert nozick]
i have my theory
my theory of justice
justice in transfer and acquisition, too

[backup singers]
those are his principles: one and two

[nozick]
don’t you know it!

so long as what i have is mine rightfully
and i give it to you voluntarily
then it is yours, justly

perhaps this will lead to inequality
but as long as it comes from people being free
the state can’t interfere with you or me

[backup dancer 1 + spoken]
does that mean that the only way you can own something is if you take possession of something that doesn’t belong to anyone?

[backup dancer 2]
or if you get given it by its rightful owner?

[nozick]
exactly
[backup 1]
so even though the initial state may have been just, aren’t the accumulated results of many separate and seemingly fair agreements likely to… undermine the background conditions required for free and fair agreements?

[backup 2]
yeah, won’t a few oligarchs end up controlling everything?

[nozick]
nah, i’m sure it will work out
[sung]
my theory is complete, my own soliloquy!
it’s curtains down for rawls and lights up for me!
the overture was his
i’ve got the finale
