I'd like to see add on study on 'Banality of Evil'.
Here "The willingness of those in power to act fairly depends on how easily others can collectively push back against unfair treatment, psychologists have found."
What about all the the middle managers that enable the powerful.
The more the middle layer of population supports the powerful, the less the 'masses' can revolt to enforce fairness.
All revolutions are actually started by the middle class which gets upset. The true lower class masses never have the resources to get off the ground.
