The diminution, even the implicit insult of the process, is painful. It prompts some insistent revisions in the creed. Where once equality of opportunity was enough (there seemed an immense river to drink from, why give out numbers?), the continent is sufficiently depleted to start a crisis in political philosophy. Who gets what? And why? Equality of opportunity competes with equality of result. Where once the able simply grazed upon...
