Eminent philosopher Harry G. Frankfurt has a new book on inequality. Here is his op-ed column in the Los Angeles Times. Key paragraph:
Many people believe that economic equality has, in itself, considerable moral value. They urge that efforts to approach the egalitarian ideal should therefore be accorded a significant priority. In my opinion, this is a mistake. Economic equality is not, as such, of any particular moral importance, and economic inequality is not, in itself, morally objectionable.
Frankfurt will be vilified by progressives, who put solidarity above truth.
