In other words, he believes that only to the extent necessary for people to do their jobs can resources be distributed unequally. In contrast, Davis and Moore argue that functionally more important positions should receive greater rewards. Jobs that yield the greatest rewards are rare, and the majority of individuals do not receive rewards as large as the top percentile. This system perpetuates inequalities. Tumin states that "social inequality is therefore an unconsciously developed device by which societies ensure that the most important positions are conscientiously occupied by the most qualified people." Social inequality exists because people in the top percentile determine which positions are functionally most important. Davis and Moore don't mention who decides which positions are more important than others. This is problematic because the most important jobs get the highest rewards and if people in the top 1% determine what is most important, this system of inequality will persist because they will claim that the jobs/positions they They occupy are the most important, so they can receive the greatest reward. Tumin would claim that these phenomena are exactly what is happening in our society, which is why the richest 1% control 40% of the country's wealth and are responsible for 25% of the country's income.
