"A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both"(Milton Friedman).
It's, simply, a great sentence!.
It shows the great importance of freedom!: while freedom is always desired, equality is not always desired at all!. Just imagine 2 different persons: 1 of them works 55 hours per week, the other one, only 40 hours per week. Would it be fair that, doing the same job, both of them had the same wage?. Of course, not!.
So, it is clear that we have to strongly defend freedom, and, so on, free market!. While we have to be very cautious when we think that we are defending equality...
Greetings.
