Actually in history there has already been these ideologies.Nothing wrong from an individual's perspective. But we do need ppl at the top who think for the betterment of the less-abled, and make productivity vs rewards more reasonable for the society. Rich liao, pls contribute, tks.
Communism. But it failed.
Capitalism prevails.
I would say that Capitalism has moved so far on that the financial markets and system is what is driving all wealth nowadays.
