Inequality Tension and Conflict

Inequality is making the whole human race sick, be it inequality of income,race, religion, gender, tribe or wealth. It has become a cause of tension andconfl ict around the world. Bernard Shaw says that only idiots favour inequalityof income, which is their only chance of eminence.Plutarch said that inequality is an ailment that means that it has a cure. Th is isexactly what the book tries to do by calling all republics and individuals thatsupport inequality to desist from it. Its eradication would ensure a healthy society,devoid of tension, violence and persistent confl ict.Treating others the way we want to be treated will be one of the most crediblesolutions to reduce inequality in our society and the global stage.
