 Is inequality inherently unjust? If so, what can be done to reconcile justice with a world defined by scarcity of resources and the continual creation of unequal relationships? This twiki entry has the goal of providing various perspectives on the question of inequality and its link to justice.

First entry:

Line: 114 to 114
 With such a view of humanity, there is no reason to find inequality unjust. It is only by establishing the inherent dignity of human beings that we can begin to discuss the relationship between inequality and injustice.

Jeff, I like your points. I think you're right that any notion of inequality being unjust has to stem from a sense that people are entitled to some basic level of fairness.

When I'm less tired, I'll take a stab at posting on Rawls.

P.S. I'll give Holmes the benefit of doubt, and assume he was taking an avant-garde position in favor of evolution.
