Being rich isn’t the greatest reward. And not feasible. Only the few can ever be rich.
Demanding a society where an economic system makes the virtuous rich is mental.
An economic system should be measured by the quality of life and productivity by the society. And it’s ability to consume said wealth. I.e. china is failing their citizens, badly. So is Germany in their psychosis of exporting.

Please explain where China is failing their citizens? We cannot even afford houses in the West anymore, while they have 95 % homeownership rate in China. And there are many more examples like that.

I.e. china is failing their citizens, badly. I mean, no? China is the single biggest driver of reduced poverty in the world.

But surely being rich (i.e being comfortable and having the freedom to explore new enterprises) is the best reward that society en large can give you; the best and only appropriate award that the government can provide you for your skilled labour
