Thank you for your article "Can We Build Public and Political Support for Tackling Inequality?" I agree with your five necessities, yet they depend on how we measure fair. At the end of the day, I think that fairness depends on the merit we apply to our actions. Eliminating the concept of merit does not work (See Russia). If we link merit and value we are on the way to improve what is now going so wrong with our unbridled capitalism. Not violence, not existing wealth determines what you get but empathy, care, courage, knowledge, hard work, dedication, honesty act in a combination characteristic of the culture to determine what you get. Both empathy and care are key new kids on the block. Imagine if your salary depends also on your demonstrated empathy and care... Abusers, assholes, bullies, entitled, and the like all get negative points ;-) We need to move from an ethic of justice (which we will always need) to an ethic of care.
