| Abstract |
"Inequality seems to be the only topic under discussion today. But what do we actually mean by equality, and what did the American Founders have in mind? This work, a history of ideas and at the same time a parallel study of social and political dimensions, is intended for college educators, commentators and public officials"-- Provided by publisher. |
