Inequality of income is one thing; inequality of landownership is another.
The difference is that the quantity of land is fixed, so A can get more only
by arranging that everyone else has less. The converse is also true: the
landless can get land only by arranging to take some from those who have
some, preferably those who have a lot more than they need for any reasonable
purpose.
Pareto and his followers today deftly rule this out of bounds - mustn't make
anyone worse off, "no-no" - but it is the hard fact every society must face
in the end.
