3.5*
Hard to rate, because I thought this was good in ways and a bit dull in others. Liked the examples and how they were used to express points and show Tsai's approach or aim in how practical egalitarianism has been/can/should be used. Thought it wandered a bit in aim and lost my attention at times.

Tsai eloquently explains that overcoming injustices and achieving inequality is a long, arduous road full of pitfalls and promise. Accessible, provocative, and revealing.
