Equality is the belief that individuals are of equal value and that they should be treated impartially and fairly by society.

Both liberals and socialists argue in favour of equality and social justice. However, there are important distinctions to be aware of between these two ideologies. Firstly, liberals favour equality of opportunity whereas socialists endorse a more equitable distribution of wealth. Whilst liberals fully accept that individuals are of equal value, they also recognise that any attempt to impose equality of outcome would inevitably lead to an excessive degree of state intervention. This would undermine our individual liberty and freedom.

Social justice can be defined as those policies and measures designed to ensure a fairer distribution of life chances within society. The term tends to be associated with those on the left of the political spectrum. Those liberals who employ the term are social rather than classical liberals. Social justice also consists of various attempts to address problems such as social exclusion and social inequality. Under the coalition government, the Liberal Democrats sought to create a degree of social justice via policies such as the pupil premium.

Equality / social justice in more depth

From a historical angle, the creation of the welfare state owes an ideological debt to social liberalism. Those on the libertarian-left claim that the free-market is unable to provide social justice. The state must therefore intervene to tackle inequality of opportunity and the post-code lottery. Without some assistance from the state, those who are disadvantaged would be unable to experience true liberty.

Despite the good intentions behind the welfare state, there are those on the right of the political spectrum such as Theodore Dalrymple who take a more critical stance. Conservatives seek to restore a sense of responsibility and duty to others, particularly the central bond between a parent and a child. Feckless families who try to shuffle off their parental responsibilities towards the state have come under fire from conservative politicians such as John Major (who launched a ‘back to basics’ campaign in order to restore traditional social values). It is down to the individual to accept responsibility for their own welfare needs alongside a role for their own families. Fundamentally, it is not the role of the state to cater for our welfare needs
