Wealth inequality in itself should never be the only goal. My parents grew up in China in the 60s, and to them wealth equality doesn't mean everyone is rich, it means everyone was equally poor.

Too often than not that's the form of wealth equality we see. So we need to keep low wealth equality while give enough incentives to people to raise the total wealth of the society, and that is a much harder problem to solve .




Switching to a fair monetary system is one option for this.
