Watch the video where Thomas Sowell argues that fairness and equity are often wrongly conflated. In his view, fairness means equal treatment under consistent rules and genuine equality of opportunity, while equity seeks to equalise outcomes between groups.

Because individuals and populations naturally differ in many ways, unequal results are normal and not necessarily unjust. Efforts to impose equity, he contends, usually require unequal treatment and can produce harmful unintended consequences, raising the central question of whether justice should prioritise fair processes or equal outcomes and avoiding pies that taste like death?
