Equality of Ownership as Precedent to Equal Opportunity
William S. Boyd of Los Angeles argues that true equality of opportunity requires equality of ownership. He asserts Roosevelt’s square deal and equality of opportunity fail where wealth and tools are privately controlled. Private ownership of land, machinery, or transport creates persistent inequity, unlike public streets and libraries which remain shared. He urges the president to pursue equality of ownership to realize genuine opportunity.
