TED-Ed: How could so many people support Hitler? | Joseph Lacey

He proposes a property-owning democracy to ensure equitable distribution of resources. While some philosophers critique his ideas, Rawls' work has significantly influenced political thought, advocating for social equality and a regulated form of capitalism.
