equity
Significado: The value of shares issued by a company; the value of a property after all debts are paid; the quality of being fair and impartial.
Equity has distinct meanings in finance, property, and social justice. In finance, equity represents ownership in a company (buying equities means buying shares). In property, it is the difference between market value and outstanding mortgage. In social contexts, equity means fairness and justice, often distinguished from equality (treating everyone the same) versus equity (giving everyone what they need).
