Kenneth Lawing Penegar 
Equality, Liberty’s Lost Twin 

Inequality seems to be the only topic under discussion today. But what do we actually mean by equality, and what did the American Founders have in mind? This work is a history of ideas and at the same time a parallel study of social and political dimensions. The book should be of particular interest to public officials as well as commentators on contemporary issues and to educators at the college level.Prof. Penegar presents a composite picture of both historic and contemporary understandings of the ideal of equality and of the policy initiatives undertaken to advance the ideal over the same expanse of time.
