Ep 113: Equity vs Equality
from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill · host Pigweed and Crowhill
P&C drink and review Crowhill's anise-flavored porter, then discuss the differences between equality and equity. Equality focuses on equal treatment. Equity focuses on equal outcomes. Equity is the right choice in some situations, but not in others. But "equity" has become the modern rallying cry, as if it's a cure-all. Equity is particularly misplaced when it's applied to groups rather than to individuals, so the combination of equity and identity politics creates a particularly bad outcome.
