inequality of a natural variety

is the basis of social inequalities (such as wealth).

Rousseau defines inequality in two parts: natural and social. Natural inequalities are the differences of 'age, health, bodily strength, and qualities of mind or soul' (Wootton 379). Social inequalities are 'the different privileges enjoyed by some at the expense of others, such as being richer, more honored, more powerful than they, or even causing themselves to be obeyed by them' (Wootton 379). Furthermore, he believes that natural inequalities are the basis of social inequalities and that social inequalities are justified so long as they reflect natural inequalities.' (net)
