Homo œconomicus et spectateur équitable
Opinions derive from personal interest, but also from a moral point of view which may be grasped by examining the position of a spectator who, neither in favor of that actor nor that particular conception of what a good life is, tries to judge the situation put before him or her fairly. This is what can be concluded from the analysis of a survey of opinions on the welfare state and its programs. Overall, and in particular for opinions on the French state?'s minimum revenue program (Revenu Minimum d?'Insertion [minimum revenue for integration]), it can be affirmed that when personal interest is no longer at stake, indeed, the less it is, the stronger the fair spectator?'s voice makes itself heard. His/her justifications are effective for the simple reason that they are based on arguments that can be endorsed by all. In other words, they are objective.
