Privilege Quotes about Inequality


Total: 2 Quotes
Thus no member of the commonwealth can have a hereditary privilege as against his fellow-subjects; and no-one can hand down to his descendants the privileges attached to the rank he occupies in the commonwealth, nor act as if he were qualified as a ruler by birth and forcibly prevent others from reach­ing the higher levels of the hierarchy through their own merit. He may hand down everything else, so long as it is material and not pertaining to his person, for it may be acquired and disposed of as property and may over a series of generations create considerable inequalities in wealth among the mem­bers of the commonwealt. But he may not prevent his sub­ordinates from raising themselves to his own level if they are able and entitled to do so by their talent, industry and good fortune. If this were not so, he would be allowed to practise coercion without himself being subject to coercive counter-measures from others, and would thus be more than their fellow-subject.

Inequality is a very general term that refers to lack of equality. Inequality can be on the social front when there is discrimination between people on the basis of their caste, creed and colour. Social inequality was practised in the form of racial discrimination in several parts of Africa. Economic inequality is another form of inequality which has led to a big divide between the rich and the poor. There is unequal distribution of wealth among the people in several nations, leading to economic disparity. James F. Cooper had once remarked, “All that a good government aims at... is to add no unnecessary and artificial aid to the force of its own unavoidable consequences, and to abstain from fortifying and accumulating social inequality as a means of increasing political inequalities.” Inequality is a term for a mathematical expression involving greater than or lesser than sign. In the words of Thomas Carlyle, “A man willing to work, and unable to find work, is perhaps the saddest sight that fortune's inequality exhibits under this sun.”
