Equality: well-being and progress

On The Forum, Bangladeshi novelist, Tahmima Anam, said something along the lines of, “Whenever we’ve focused on equality, we’ve made huge social progress”. Among the examples she cited were the abolition of slavery and votes for women. Given the chance to prove it, we could show that equality applied to the roads would put an end to most of our road safety (and many of our congestion) problems.
