• Equality of opportunity is not enough. Unless we create an environment where everyone is guaranteed some minimum capabilities through some guarantee of minimum income, education, and healthcare, we cannot say that we have fair competition.

Equality of opportunity is absolutely necessary but not sufficient in building a genuinely fair and efficient society.
