A world of total equality, as Aristotle suspected, would be one without much desire or concern about improvement. The motives and incentives for producing present abundance would soon dry up.

Pope Francis is undaunted: “It is necessary to resolve the root of the ills, which is inequality.

If this is what the man has said - he is supremely foolish.

The root of all ills is NOT inequality. The man should read his bible more and Marx less.

He talks in circles, making equality and inequality meaningless buzzwords to tickle the ears of the communist inclined.

Equality is neither desired, nor attainable; and he is a fool for trying. If one wants to use the word equality or equal, it needs to be qualified by context or by specific reference. Equality of opportunity, or equal before the law.

I read the book of Job and I noticed how often Job whined about inequality...
