Quote of the Day: Hayek on Equality

There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal. While the first is the condition of a free society, the second means, as De Tocqueville described it, “a new form of servitude.

That’s from Friedrich August von Hayek in Individualism and economic order (hat tip Professor Don Boudreaux)
