1. Society is an organic system whose various components work together to contribute to the health of the system. Some of the positions within the system, though, are more important than others for the survival of the society.
2. For a society to remain healthy, the most functionally important positions must be filled by the most qualified people. However, the number of people with the talent and/or the training to fill these roles is limited.
3. Individuals must be induced to spend the time, effort, and financial resources that training requires.
4. Consequently, society allocates greater rewards to those positions that are more important and require scarce talents.
5. Inequality is an unconsciously established system through which societies fill the most crucial positions with the most skilled persons.
6. Some degree of inequality is inevitable because it contributes positively to the functioning of societies."
