25. Social Practice / B. Equalities / 4. Economic equality

3920	If you equalise possessions, people's talents will make them unequal again [Hume]
	Full Idea: Render possessions ever so equal, men's different degrees of art, care, and industry will immediately break that equality.
	From: David Hume (Enquiry concerning Principles of Morals [1751], III.II.155)
	A reaction: This might not be so if there is a totalitarian restriction of economic freedom.
