Equality

Question

A government report on farmers’ problems says that small and marginal farmers cannot get good prices from the market. It recommends that the government should intervene to ensure a better price but only for small and marginal farmers. Is this recommendation consistent with the principle of equality?

Answer

The mentioned recommendation is consistent with the principle of equality. In a liberal democratic country, in a welfare state and in a socialist society the interest of the small and marginal farmers should be protected by the government so, that they could lead reasonably just social lives and should get some economic assistance from government.

This act of goverment bridges the economic equality, which also give the oppurtunity to the farmers entails the prevalent oppurtunity.
