Inequality is far harder to explain than most people realize.Over the past century, few social issues have received more attention thaninequality. An enormous amount has been written about inequality in manyforms: income, political power, class, status, race, ethnicity, age, gender, andmore.
Since all men and women share a common human nature, they are all therefore equally entitled to the same natural rights (such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness). Today, many people think that equal rights are not enough and demand equality of results. They view any inequalities, whether in income or educational attainment, as a sign of injustice. Such claims are misguided. Because we are all different, inequalities are the natural result of living in a free society.
