Which aspect is a problem? Do you want, expect, or hope that every individual has in sum the same amount of total value to offer? That every olympic athlete, brain surgeon, or math genius has a flaw of corresponding strength? That every person born with a disabling physical birth defect has a corresponding richness of character? Economic egalitarianism is impossible because people are *different*. They do not total up to be economically identical. ----- > Certainly capitalism has decided that question one way, but do we > need to agree? The only people who need to agree are the two offering to exchange money for labor. They are the ones who evaluate the worth of a particular piece of work (and, perhaps soon, the worth of a particular piece of money). Brian
