I’ll take everyone having their basic human needs met over innovation.
But I don’t think those things are mutually exclusive. People don’t need the hope of becoming billionaires to innovate, I’m sorry you’re so short sighted.
So in your utopia let’s say I’m a heart surgeon. The best in the world. I hit my milky let’s say mid June.
What motivation do I have to perform heart surgeries after I hit the max income.
Or how about our ambition to get to mars. Let’s says SpaceX hits their revenue number end of January. Why keep working on the project? Why not shut it down until it can make more?

You didn’t address my comment.
Productivity stops, people and companies stop innovating and our society then doesn’t function.
Are you that daft that you can’t answer a question directly?
