Jon Jost's presentation from 2007 Project on Law and Mind Sciences (PLMS) Conference.
"System justification theory addresses the holding of attitudes that are often contrary to one's own self-interest and therefore contrary to what one would expect on the basis of theories of self-enhancement or rational self-interest."

This is interesting that people generally think that economists believe that markets are fair judges, exactly like many people think that lawyers believe in justice, The truth is sooner the opposite, namely more you understand less you can subscribe under the idea of fairness, just or legitimate.
