Evaluating Societal Fairness Through Financial Outcomes

Consider two hypothetical societies. Society A has a very high average income, but also a very large gap between its richest and poorest citizens. Society B has a much lower average income, but the distribution of income is nearly equal among all its citizens. Using the distribution of financial resources as the primary measure of fairness, construct an argument for which society could be considered 'more fair.' Your response must justify your position by explaining the trade-offs involved in this specific type of evaluation.
