Yep, I think there’s a lazy argument that tends to get made to justify the status quo, namely that inequality is necessary for innovation. Of course it is, otherwise why take risks? But this does not justify the 1000x inequality that we have today separating CEOs from laborers and 10000x separating founders from laborers. What if those numbers were 100x and 5000x? Might we see even more innovation, and stronger communities? The payoffs figures of today are also used to justify truly stupid risks. There are ponzi scheme type people who would rather masquerade at being a founder 10 times over in search of getting lucky once, screwing over investors and laborers in the process. Maybe if the disparity weren’t so eye popping, the same people would go into other fields instead.
