"I don't think that equality of opportunity is a problem. I think that's a great thing and that anybody with any sense champions equality of opportunity. Even if your purely selfish and purely self-centered, you would want to set up an economy where everyone who had ability could be maximally exploited by everyone else, because then we can all benefit from each other's talents. So equality of opportunity is an absolutely useful fundamental principle."
