Notes
1 Sandel recognised this problem and a 1998 reissue of his book maintained that what was
important were objective ‘ends’, such as friendship or the pursuit of certain forms of
excellence (Sandel, 1998: xi). Rather than being a communitarian Sandel appears to be
a perfectionist.
2 Salter converts this to 0.125. It is not important to the argument to explain why, but it
does affect the relatedness numbers of different ‘ethnies’ discussed later in this paragraph.Chapter 12 Nationalism 279
