My problem is that interpersonal conflicts are strongly effected by wealth. Someone who can afford lots of lawyers have a much greater chance of winning than someone who can barely afford one. Often people settle just to avoid crippling legal costs. Also people with greater wealth can use that money to promote their ideas and persuade other to their positions. They can afford their children much better opportunities. Not to mention that greater wealth disparities encourage keeping-up-with-the-Joneses arms races and other social ills.

I honestly suspect that shrinking the pie but making it more evenly distributed would be best for all for the increased social harmony and stability.
