| Why it’s on the list | A reference article, not a book: the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy’s entry on Nozick’s Anarchy, State, and Utopia — rights as side constraints, the invisible-hand derivation of a minimal state, and the entitlement theory of justice he set against Rawls. The shortest route into the Rawls/Nozick dispute. |
