 Grouchy’s concrete proposal to reduce extreme inequality does not include even the possibility of future inequality. She assumes that without legally supported inequality, natural inequalities (in intelligence and fecundity) would result in three quarters of the land being distributed randomly according to luck and skill and one quarter distributed equally between families. But this, she argues, with figures at hand, would still exclude extreme poverty or extreme wealth and would be sufficient to ensure that all citizens recognized each other as equally worthy of respect.
