How much equality is enough?

 Egalitarianism  Add comments
Oct 172009
 

Charlie Whitaker at A Firstful of Euros answered questions he claims to get about equality. He says he’s a bit left-leaning. I was curious as to what was meant by “a bit” so I posted the following question:

How much equality is enough? Or is more always better?

[Saturday morning update:   Charlie answered, and I replied.]
