I recommend you read John Rawls's seminal work A Theory of Justice.
For him, there are three principles a society should be based on (in lexical order):
Maximum, equal liberties for all > Equality of opportunity > Difference principle
Difference principle: Any inequality has to be to the biggest advantage for the least well-off person
