DMcG BS: DIY Philosophy: Fairness (84* d) RE: BS: DIY Philosophy: Fairness 19 Feb 17

I can't police threads, of course, but that's getting well away from the fairness and equality discussion, Ake.
in your earlier post you mentioned distribution of wealth. Leaving the 1% out of it for the moment, many people would go along with the adage "A fair day's work for a fair day's pay", and even more "A fair day's pay for a fair day's work". That idea of 'fair pay' doesn't have any idea of equality in it. If anything it implies that unequal pay is acceptable providing there is some justification based on say skills of the workman.

Do you think that, following on from the excellent links above, we have two ideas in mind fair=appropriate and fair=equal, and often slip between the two without really noticing?
