Description
Why Does Inequality Matter? by T. M. Scanlon explores six reasons why inequality is morally objectionable. These reasons include the failure to give equal concern to different parties, the impact on status and control, and the effects on economic and political institutions. Scanlon examines each of these reasons in detail, aiming to provide a moral anatomy of equality and its various ideas. He also considers objections to pursuing equality, including concerns about individual liberty, and argues that certain notions of desert do not justify significant economic inequality or object to it. This book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the complex issues surrounding inequality, making it an important contribution to practical ethics.
