Summary
This chapter considers whether anything distinctive remains of equity today that would allow it to be separately identified and would justify its continued recognition. In particular, the chapter analyses and marshals the views on these points taken in the other chapters in the book, and concludes that a distinctive equity is harder to define and to justify than several of the other contributions to the collection apparently suggest.
