Sample Book Insights:

#1 The ideal of a free market society, which was used to be a cause of the left, was actually meant to be a description of a society of equals. But today, it is often used to describe a society of domination and subordination.

#2 The idea of social hierarchy is often contrasted with that of social equality. Egalitarianism is the ideal of social relations in which each person’s interests have standing in the eyes of the other.

#3 The Industrial Revolution was a cataclysmic event for egalitarians. It shattered their model of how a free society of equals might be built through market society.

#4 The market is today’s third thing, and it poses a challenge to the ideal of a free society of equals. We must understand the intellectual context of egalitarian thought before the Industrial Revolution, when the market was left.
