Society is always going to be unequal – some people will have more than others.

So long as there is work, the people who have a smaller share always have the opportunity of improving their lot by working harder and smarter than others.

A society with no work is basically one in which everyone lives off their assets, in which wealth primarily comes through inheritance. A society with even more inequality than today, but with far less social mobility.
