While noting that we formally exalt equality in such documents as the Declaration of Independence and even in everyday expressions about fair play  equal opportunity  and the common good  Ryan graphically shows how we nevertheless \"play the game\" in various spheres of public life by rules that divide people into winners and losers  superior and inferior rules that  in short  institutionalize inequality.
