[A afirmação d conservador Boris Johnson, numa das conferências anuais sobre M. Tatcher, foi a seguinte:«Whatever you may think of
the value of IQ tests, it is surely relevant to a conversation about
equality that as many as 16 per cent of our species have an IQ below
85, while about 2 per cent have an IQ above 130. The harder you shake
the pack, the easier it will be for some cornflakes to get to the
top.
And for one reason or
another – boardroom greed or, as I am assured, the natural and
god-given talent of boardroom inhabitants – the income gap between
the top cornflakes and the bottom cornflakes is getting wider than
ever. I stress: I don’t believe that economic equality is possible;
indeed, some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of
envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable
spur to economic activity.»
