Hayek and Rawls take different paths along their journey to reach what they believe the proper form of distributive justice would be. They both follow liberal ideology‚ focusing more on the individual. Hayek follows a line of thinking based on liberty‚ utility‚ and a “economic order based on the market‚” and with that with that economic order comes capitalism as the most viable option for the society (Hayek‚ LLL p.68). Hayek believes that this society will offer the best opportunities for access

Physically all humans are created equally from head to toe but mentally and internally some humans are granted with the natural lottery. “Since we cannot undo the inequalities of the natural lottery‚ John Rawls writes‚ we must find a way to address the differences in the rewards that result from them” (Arora 88).
