    Without risking doing your homework, I'll give a hint

    Consider how the issue (GNP or material goods) is related to the population.

    Who HAS MORE WEALTH, the clan of 100 with $10,000 or the clan of 10 with $5,000?

    Who IS BETTER OFF, the clan with $1,000,000 more than the other clan or the clan whose family has a better education, health care and safer streets, nicer homes.
