According to Hugh Nibley, the reader should note that liberty and equality go together in the message of king Mosiah: "And now I desire that this inequality should be no more in this land, especially among this my people; but I desire that this land be a land of liberty" (Mosiah 29:32) It's very interesting that today we interpret liberty as inequality--the right of anyone who wants to pile up as much power and wealth as he can and take advantage of anybody he can. If they are weaker, that's just too bad. We have free, competitive enterprise now, and you do what you want. So you have the perfect right to be unequal, but you are not going to have liberty with inequality because some people are in bondage to others. . . . But freedom is equality. I mentioned that comment from Philo last time; I just came across that. "Equality is the mother of righteousness." And it's the mother of liberty, too. King Mosiah desired that "every man may enjoy his rights and privileges alike." [Hugh W. Nibley, Teachings of the Book of Mormon, Semester 2, p. 212]
