‘This absorbing and thought-provoking book is the richest and most varied account available of the fate of the idea of equality. It will be of great value to anyone interested in one of the core political ideas of the modern world and in the political movements – from the Levellers to the contemporary Left – that have championed it.’ Colin Crouch, University of Warwick ‘A fascinating and very thought-provoking book’ Nick Cohen
