Pleased to see this new piece about my book's relevance to false assumptions about the history of political thought. So many simply assume that the old dead thinkers (beside Rousseau & Marx) embrace inequality as natural & just. That's flat wrong. Thanks to Jack Jeffrey & the @fairness.bsky.social!
