Pursuit of Equality in the West

Explore the profound inquiries of democracy in "Pursuit of Equality in the West" by Aldo Schiavone, published by Harvard University Press in 2022. This compelling hardback edition spans 376 pages and delves into the essential question: Do democratic citizens possess an equal right to rule? Schiavone meticulously examines whether mere legal equality suffices or if true democracy requires economic and social equality as well. By tracing the evolution of these critical questions from ancient times to the present day, he advocates for a transformative approach to address the growing inequalities that threaten the integrity of democracies today. This insightful work is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of democratic governance and the essential principles of equality.
