As I watch pop culture media I can’t help but think that the desire for relative wealth/status is driven primarily by the desire to attract sexual and romantic partners. I don’t think people in their 20s and 30s are as worried about war and famine as they are about being undesirable, unpopular, rejected, and lonely. At least not in the US. I suppose sex tech and AR/VR tech could advance to the point where some of these fears are obliviated and humans begin to deprogram the desire for status within a social hierarchy. That would be quite a radical evolution.
