Does inequality trump total welfare? If we were all equal and as a whole considerably worse off, would that be better than if we were all better off but less equal? I would argue total welfare is more important than equality, and I think capitalism supports that argument; socialism most certainly promotes greater equality, but the same cannot be said in regard to welfare.

So, what is more important to you? I thought we were talking about what was best for society - now you're talking equality. Equality does not always mean that society as a whole is better off as you seem to think.
