Many societies tolerate (or even celebrate) some degree of inequality in so far as it incentivizes people to work hard, innovate, save, invest in education, and take calculated risks in entrepreneurial activities. This is the “good inequality” that moved JK Rowling to write the next Harry Potter novel, Bill Gates to pursue the next technological innovation, Steve Jobs to design the next Apple product, or Christopher Nolan to produce the next blockbuster movie. They became very rich relative to the rest of us, but nearly every one of us benefited from their contributions to arts, popular culture, and technology.
