Egalitarianism boosts collective intelligence
The target article by Stibbard Hawkes and von Rueden (SHVR) provides useful terminological housekeeping, but its individualistic account of egalitarianism in small-scale societies risks overlooking important group-level functions. We arg...

Egalitarianism as hierarchy control: Predictive social minds and the evolution of anti-dominance institutions
Stibbard-Hawkes and von Rueden redefine egalitarianism as a process rather than an outcome. We extend this framework by arguing that egalitarian societies represent cognitive-ecological equilibria in which evolved psychological systems r...

Slavery as a process of maintaining extreme inequality
Stibbard-Hawkes and von Rueden called for further cross-cultural and quantitative research to understand the mechanisms under their egalitarianism framework. Studying the socio-ecological factors that favour egalitarian processes or ineq...

Patriarchy in hunter-gatherer societies
Stibbard-Hawkes and von Rueden provide a valuable account of inequality across nominally egalitarian societies, but their attempt to salvage the egalitarian concept is less convincing. The processes they identify as maintaing relative eq...

Deliberation and egalitarianism
Stibbard-Hawkes and von Rueden highlight consensus-based decision-making as a key process underlying egalitarianism. I argue that this terminology remains unnecessarily imprecise and can be potentially misleading. In line with the author...

Equity, equality, and egalitarianism: A context-dependent framework for resource allocation
We argue that the differences between process-based and outcome-based egalitarianism correspond to the distinction between equity and equality as principles of resource allocation. By outlining the limitations of relying solely on a proc...

Egalitarianism and women
Their conceptual approach is the signal strength of this important paper. Future researchers on egalitarianism, whether archival or original, would be well advised to use their approach as a research guide. One major problem with the stu...

So there is no false consciousness in egalitarian societies?
While definitions based on outcomes should not be abandoned, this novel framework usefully reveals the plural processes underlying relative equality. The authors are right to argue that egalitarian societies do not require preferences fo...

The problem is perfectionism: Egalitarianism is equality but not perfect equality
This article argues that Duncan Stibbard–Hawkes and Christopher von Rueden’s article, “Egalitarianism is Not Equality,” makes an important point about egalitarianism, but it misidentifies its target. The problem is not outcome-versus-pro...
