**Role in this topic:** political philosopher behind the equality criterion of left and right
- 1909–2004. Italian philosopher ◻.
- *Destra e sinistra* (1994): the left is more egalitarian, the right accepts or defends inequality. On that axis, a regime built on racial hierarchy is right-wing.
- Gives an alternative to brivael's single "who decides" axis. Many political scientists combine the two in a two-axis model (the Nolan chart and political-compass style ◻).
