[MD] The Quality of Equality

[John Carl]

I"m not sure if this even applies to the discussion at hand, but I heard
somewhere that the English concept of "fairness" was difficult to translate
into other languages.

Any bilinguists out there can disconfirm, please do.  But if so it makes an
interesting case for being one of the underlying assumptive pillars  of
capitalism, as well as equality.
