Kann es sein, dass wir in den letzten Jahrzehnten im Schatten eines abstrakten liberalen Gleichheitsideals verlernt haben, die konkreten Machtverhältnisse und Ungleichheiten unserer Gesellschaften zu sehen – und uns die neuen ökonomischen Verwerfungen und rechtspopulistischen Mobilisierungen deshalb relativ unvorbereitet trafen? Ja, sagt Danielle Allen, und entwickelt in ihrem Buch ein neues Verständnis politischer Gleichheit für Gesellschaften großer sozialer und kultureller Vielfalt.
