The Pursuit of Equality in the West

In "The Pursuit of Equality in the West," Aldo Schiavone explores the historical debates surrounding democracy and inequality, from ancient times to the modern era. He examines how the American and French revolutions shaped ideas of equality, contrasting approaches focused on legal and economic targets. The book argues that traditional models are insufficient in today's technological world and proposes a new conception of equality that balances universal human dignity with individual differences.
