View submission: On Rights of Inheritance - why high inheritance taxes are justified
there is a lot of low-hanging fruit regarding ways in which societies around the world can change in ways that almost everyone will be able to agree are "more fair than before".
How do you know that a change makes things "more fair than before" if you have no idea what "fair" looks like? If "almost everyone" agrees that high inheritance taxes are more fair than low inheritance taxes, then they must be *some* idea of what a fair society looks like. It doesn't seem unreasonable, then, to at least have some understanding in place before making structural changes.

Different people might have different ideas of what the ultimate fair society looks like but still agree on whether a concrete action increases fairness.
