I never did like this kind of binary thinking. What if people could work twice as hard, but after acquiring more money than you can spend in a beautiful life, decide to either retire or work for free? I believe this would reduce inequality too, and it would only require that earners set an upper-bound on their earnings. You could still compete on, for example, velocity. (I call this my Enough number, by the way).

In my limited experience, it takes a very special someone to adhere to an "enough number." I've met many who claimed to have one, only to work long past it. For most, reaching that number only becomes a motivating factor to reach a higher number ad infinitum.
