Summary: The paper criticizes two conclusions about justificatory liberalism reached by Gerald Gaus in ‘The order of public reason’, viz. that socialism is incapable of being publicly justified and that the diversity of evaluative standards of the Members of the Public limits considerably the possibilities of redistributive policies. Against Gaus, I claim that justificatory liberalism remains agnostic about the property of production means (whether it should be public or private) and is compatible with more egalitarian versions of capitalism such as those that draw on Rawls’ and Dworkin’s theories of justice.Keywords: Gaus, socialism, redistribution.
