Rawls y Maquiavelo sobre el "problema de la envidia".

In this paper, I present the interpretations offered by John Rawls and Machiavelli about what the former calls the "problem of envy" in A Theory of Justice. I argue that the differences between Rawls and Machiavelli on this matter express what I call here the liberal and plebeian versions of the problem of envy. Through this comparison, I argue that Rawls's egalitarian project requires the kind of politicization of the many that constitutes the core of the republicanism defended by Machiavelli, particularly in the Discourses.
