description

In this chapter, I explore an extreme form of egalitarianism, namely the idea that everyone should get paid the same amount of money per hour worked, no matter what kind of work they do. I explain what the idea is more exactly, what can be said in its favor, and I reply to some potential objections to it. I argue that the idea has more going for it than one might initially think.
