The goal of this book is to make the reader think about whether the statement that equality is always good and inequality is always bad is indeed an axiom. The author examines situations where the pursuit of excessive equality leads...
to a decrease in overall welfare. He also offers an unusual perspective on certain aspects of economic and political inequality and the discrimination issues faced by individual ethnic and social groups. One of the central ideas of the book is that the narrative formed in culture regarding inequality affects its perception much more than its actual level. Since the objective possibilities for further reducing inequality are limited, the prevailing narrative today of uncompromising struggle for equality in any matter and at any cost causes more harm than good.
