Left and Right: The Significance of a Political Distinction (Italian: Destra e sinistra) is a 1994 book by the Italian political scientist Norberto Bobbio. It is about the left–right political spectrum, which it argues is consistently useful. Bobbio equated political left and right with the distinction between equality and inequality.^[1]^[2]
