>The[re] will never be a successful society....

As I do hold degrees in the field studying this very question, may I kindly ask for your sources? Or, not being greedy here, reasons...?

I would bet entire dollars you'll hate this source, but here's one: "The Magnificent Progress Achieved By Capitalism: Is the Evidence Incontrovertible?" [0]

Here's a less insane one: "Comparative Economic Systems: Capitalism and Socialism in the 21st Century" [1]

Another one: "Economic Systems and Economic Growth" [2]

It's not really controversial in your field to claim that rewarding effort is a superior model to spreading out value evenly. The question is more of "to what extent" or even "what is achievement."

What's un-controversial is claims like "There will never be..." are bullshit.
Quality contribution; thanks for commenting.
Same vibe here.
