@Chigaze So, you're saying that if another aspect of a society is correct (low Gini coefficient, maybe some other measurement of power inequality), then the answer is "average".

What if the Gini coefficient is high?

@evan If the Gini coefficient is high then the question is moot. At that point the gap between the least and the average (my which I assume you mean median) is far smaller than the gap between them and the powerful.

The question itself is problematic because if we judge a society based on a it's poor and powerless the question arises “why is anyone poor and powerless”? If they were being treated well, they wouldn’t be poor and powerless.

@Chigaze it doesn't say "poor and powerless"! It says "least wealthy and powerful". Even in a society where everyone has their needs met and where everyone participates in society, there's always someone who's least powerful (even if it's a million-way tie).
