In you answer, state clearly: (1) whether or not each theorist would agree with the statement, and why;(2) your own view on the validity of the statement. You need to indicate clearly which thinkers and texts you are engaging with, but you do not need to use quotes of page references.

This paper needs to be clear in structure and exceptionally written with exceptional arguments and ideas. Some things to be thought about while thinking of equality are state of nature, capacities/capabilities, political equality, moral equality, economic equality, equality before law, main product of inequality(maybe), degree of each of these inequalities maybe, do writers think these are good or bad, things like does moral equality drive economic inequality(as smith thinks), what drives what?
