Even if you reorganized society and distributed wealth equally, you’ll find it’ll end up with it aligning in the same way over the course of time because certain people who are more competent and driven will eventually rise up by working towards their goals through a combination of hard work and better luck. There’s no insidious agenda of people at the top trying to keep it that way. Some figure out a way to make it to the top of the competence hierarchy while others aren’t cut out for it and the ones who get more resources will utilize it to generate more wealth and influence.
