The New Inequality
By Alan Ryan
The End of Equality
by Mickey Kaus
Basic Books (A New Republic Book), 293 pp., $25.00
The End of Equality is a strange book. It sets out a program for the Democratic Party to run on and win back the White House, but it is written with a sneering hostility that is more likely to raise hackles than change minds. Kaus, an editor of The New Republic, lauds the politics of what he calls 'Civic Equality'; citizens should respect one another as citizens, acknowledge one another as political equals, and treat one another with respect, regardless of differences in wealth, income, brains, or good looks.
