6A Some people think we should have a more equal society even if that means there is less wealth overall. Suppose these people are at 0, on a 0 to 10 scale. Other people think we should let individuals get as rich as they can, even if that means the society is very unequal. Suppose these people are at 10 on the same scale and 5 is in the middle.
