Hi Wim
I would like to see the case between equality and inequality
argued from both point of view. I think both are inadequate
ways of thinking. I would argue for everyone to have basic
provisions of housing, food, healthcare, education so that
they can flourish and we can see what quality they have to
find in themselves and perhaps also offer society. After that
we need to decide what we are going to do with the extra
resources. At the moment we allow people to use them
for all kinds of low and high quality activity. Surely we
need to find a way of using our resources more for high
that ow quality activity?
regards
David M
