The opposite of rising inequality is not total equality. That's just an attempt to kill the discussion.

I'm not sure to whom or what you are responding.
The book I linked to is a couple hundred pages long, explores moral and practical issues, and has almost 20 pages of notes and citations. Far from attempting to "kill the discussion", which is in fact what your blithe comment is attempting, it explores the topic of inequality in a uniquely deep way.
Why would you name the book "Equal Is Unfair" if you wanted to explore the topic in a deep way?
It is a provocative claim that I think the book succeeds in showing to be true.
It is a worthwhile book and, even if you disagree with it, I think you'll find it intellectually stimulating. If you think you'll read it, I'll happily buy you a copy, just PM me.

Titles tend to be a bit hyperbolic, I'd imagine the content of the book is a bit better.
