On Inequality by Harry G. Frankfurt
What It Means to Be a Good Person
The book explores the concept of economic inequality, arguing that the moral focus should not be on the disparity of wealth itself but rather on ensuring that everyone has enough to lead a decent life. The author contends that the obsession with equality can distract from addressing more pressing issues of poverty and need. By emphasizing sufficiency over equality, the book challenges conventional views and suggests that the pursuit of equality for its own sake may not be as morally significant as ensuring that individuals have the resources necessary for well-being.
