19th century sociologist Herbert Spencer's theory of social Darwinism states that the most intelligent and most educated people are (statistically) the wealthiest and most successful. While the many unfortunate unintelligent and uneducated are likely to succumb to poverty and hardship.
Obviously, only an extremely small handful of people possess the intelligence and aptitude that is required to reach the very top of society. This helps explain the very wide gap between the haves and the have nots in our society.
It is painfully obvious right from the very start that life is fundamentally unfair as only the very few are born with gifts and advantages that gives them a head start in the race to the top of society.
For example, out of these three people, who do you think is most likely to become CEO of a large corporation?
*A high school graduate with no post-secondary education.
*Someone with an MBA from a state college.
*Someone with an undergraduate in economics from MIT and an MBA from Harvard business school?
