Society - Inequality vs. Equality
I found this article to be a good read and just felt like sharing:

A question posed about how you would go about constructing wealth distribution in a society from the perspective of not knowing where your position in society is.
I found it interesting and although the article obviously only states an american slant it makes you realise that people can think about the benefit of the whole. Yes, in one way, both situations can be perceived in a sense of selfishness as if you don't know where you are in a society you want to make sure that no matter where you are you're in a position that is beneficial to you while when you know where you stand you constantly want to fight to protect your own interests.
