Description

Almost everyone now seems to think it obvious that equality of opportunity is at least part of what constitutes a fair society. At the same time they are so vague about what equality of opportunity actually amounts to that it can begin to look like an empty term, a convenient shorthand for the way jobs (or for that matter university places, or positions of power, or merely places on the local sports team) should be allocated. Matt Cavanagh offers a provocative and original view, suggesting that the way we think about equality and opportunity should be radically changed.
