Pareto’s Iron Law


the italian sociologist living in the early 20th century observed that the distribution of wealth and income remains roughly the same in modern industrialized societies no matter what governmental policies are pursued. a corollary of the iron law is the “circulation of elites” where groups vie to be the dominant group under various guises including equality and social justice, but there is always an elite no matter what.
liberal elitist humanitarian: let’s p-ss legislation to make a more equal, fairer society.

conservative realist: that will get us no where except you leftists will be in power rather than us. there is the brutal fact of pareto’s iron law. we cannot escape inequality of result.

liberal elitist humanitarian: well, i know, but at least we will be ahead of you conservatives. we hate you because you do not love everyone as we leftists do.
