Sounds fantastic.

So, who will try to convince the wealthy to give up their status and distribute their wealth to the poor?

And who will tell the poor who suddenly has a lot of wealth, that this doesn't mean you can have anything you want now?

I have the feeling we wont learn until something really big and stupid happens, killing millions by the minute.

Even after that a few generations pass and everything will be the same as it always was and will be.
