Abstract

Abstract:

Justice and efficiency are usually taken as two parameters to evaluate the rationality of social institutions.Rawls has a well constructed argument for the thesis of the priority of justice to efficiency.He attempts to solve the conflict between justice and efficiency by designing an impartial social society which combines "the opportunity principle" and "the difference principle".The author believes that Rawls' thoughts are relevant to the evaluation of China's reform of institutions.

Key words: justice, efficiency, the reform of institutions
