Equality and Justice

Presents equality as a core Liberal principle, closely linked to liberty, arguing that removing artificial barriers and ensuring fair conditions (e.g., through law, economic policy, and women's rights) is essential for genuine freedom.

Liberty implies equality; the demand for impartial law, independent judiciary, and abolition of class privileges is central.

Implicit in the demand for impartial law is the principle of equality; the chapter links liberty to equality before the law and calls for abolition of class privileges.

The struggle for liberty in social and occupational spheres is shown to be a struggle for equality of opportunity, including through free education and the removal of hereditary and artificial barriers.

Tariffs are criticized for creating inequality between trades, and the regulation of industry is framed as a movement toward equality through liberty.
