Today Don Watkins published a new article on Medium.com, in which he offers five steps to restoring opportunity in America by ending political inequality:

When the government treats us all the same by protecting our equal rights, then the result is inevitable economic inequality since different people create radically different amounts of economic value. To fight economic inequality, you have to treat people differently, by imposing special penalties on the successful and giving special privileges to the less successful. But this sort of political inequality is precisely what’s killing opportunity, progress and fairness in America today.

If you find Don’s perspective on this issue persuasive, then you should buy the newly released Equal Is Unfair: America’s Misguided Fight Against Income Inequality, co-authored with Yaron Brook.

Equal Is Unfair is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Politics and Prose, Books-A-Million, eBooks and Kobo.
