If a society is to achieve growth and progress, initiative and effort has to be rewarded.
on what do you base that? is the progress of the individual always good for society? what if the progress of the individual goes against the growth of society? I take it that you speak of economic growth and progress, but what if a few individuals eat all the cake and profit from it, will society neccesarily benefit?


Inequality is therefore not an evil, but a necessity to achieve a good society.
please explain me why exactly. (inequality only in economic sense) is needed to achieve a good society (also only in economic sense? or in more than economic sense?) if a society is good in economic sense but degraded of any morality (amoralistic) would that be a better society which is moralistic but in bad economic shape?

and what would be your idea of a "good" society.
