This article analyzes Rawlsian property-owning democracy in the American historical context. The purpose of the article is to reveal an “overlapping consensus” between Rawlsian property-owning democracy and the American political tradition that in turn could be of great value to Rawlsians wishing to make a persuasive argument for liberal reforms. I examine three historical periods—Jeffersonian democracy, the age of Populism and Progressivism, and the New Deal—showing how New Dealers, with their Keynesian fiscal approach, diverged from the American political tradition advocated by previous reformers and how Rawlsian property-owning democracy, as a substitute for the capitalist welfare state, could reconnect with that important tradition
