"All the stuff about inequality is meaningless in a global sense."

No it isn't, it's just very complicated

"The people of the thrird world are probably more equal than we are,"

The people who own and control wealth in much of the world are probably based 'off-shore' and have little loyalty to any place.

"but do you want that sort of equality?"

What do you think.

It seems to me that I cannot tune a banjo properly so don't ask me to explain injustice on a world scale. But I think I know it's there and it's wrong.
