Well, I think there are more fortunes being made in an ethical manner than there used to be, this much is true. But where I think the real losses to society come from are inheritance, and what you might call the "soft inheritance" that comes from being born in a given class. The problem with earning a lot of income is that your children are assumed to be equally good with that income, and society hands it to them without a second thought, regardless of their individual merits. Compounded over generations the effect is truly terrible. We've done some to stem the tide, but not enough.
