If resources would be distributed evenly, would society be better?

Who would make better allocation decisions than some arbitrary elite that happens to be rich? Without those riches, where is the surplus money that can be invested into innovations? Right now, the masses could pool some small amounts of money like $10 and have millions and billions to start new companies.

There was 'Ask HN: How might HN build a social network together?'[1]. I am not aware that something has been started, despite all the skills most likely being available. Without somebody fronting the money to make even more money, how can people be motivated to create progress?
