I don't agree with this. You are measuring equality of outcomes, not of opportunities. They are different.
- simiones 5y agoNo, I said equality of opportunity: both Bill Gates' child and the child born in the trailer park should, at birth, have the same chance to become extremely rich or extremely poor. That would mean that they have the same opportunities. If you believe in a strong genetic component, than you can complicate the formula a bit.
