In a world with your ideal economic and legal systems (but working with the same culture and level of resources we have today), would there be any significant economic inequality between people?

Proficiency, hours worked, motivating and drive... There's no system to adjust for the people who have themselves put together compared to the one's who won't/can't unless you stop counting "work" as the means.

I guess it depends on whether if "inequality" means "uneven" or "unfair." I chose "yes."

Who are the 29% of people answering 'no'? Do they have economic and legal systems in mind which would eliminate inequality? Or do they just think it would be good to do so and leave the details as an exercise for the reader? Or are they trolling?

The only way to realistically reduce economic inequality is to push technological efficiencies so far that resources become practically inexhaustible. Maybe in a couple of hundred years.

Economic inequality is. The ideal system will keep the fewest possible at a poverty level; but, economic inequality is the result of creating great things.
