“Rawls’ hallmark “veil of ignorance” deals with unfairness as a moral failure on part of a social contract’s members. The “original position” to work as an hypothesis requires decoupling from everything concrete, and furthermore remanding everything concrete to economic and social (i.e. economic) outcomes. Intended as a thought experiment, Rawls has become the chief metaphysician for liberal democracies.”
