Swap example to the end. One of the course I teach is public economic analysis for graduates and I use this example for my lecture on distributive justice which includes a detailed analysis of moral schools of thought. As a matter of fact I start with the theory and classification of those schools of thought and I finish with the example to make sure students understand.
