Lecture 1: What is equality and is it complementary or contradictory to whatever freedom is?
Lecture 2: Are liberal democratic states, all or most of which have some form of capitalism as their economic systems, often the most unequal societies?
Lecture 3: Is inequality largely a function of these 3 sources: genes (this one very controversial as no one knows how much or how genes affect behavior), families and luck?
Lecture 4: What can be done PRACTICALLY to diminish inequality while retaining individual freedom?
