Dozens of protesters occupied the bank’s lobby, and soon after police showed up in riot gear to arrest the trespassers. We were broadcasting live as the tense standoff unfolded. Here is the recording.

The late Rawls, a Harvard professor and the author of A Theory of Justice, is widely recognized as the most important political philosopher of the 20th century. His theory about how to set up a just society, called ‘Justice as Fairness,’ could provide a legitimate philosophical framework for the Occupy the Wall Street movement. We talked about what the theory says, and what it means for the 99%.
