No, because creating a business is contingent far more on already having capital than on performing labor. Business owners should be rewarded for their labor, but not for their preexisting ownership.
Zimbabwe went from a food exporter with a successful economy to a bankrupt state incapable of feeding itself. Venezuela also had farms! You can't grow food without seed, fertilizer or people. It is a tragedy inflicted by a government on its people and it is still happening.

Venezuela STILL has farms. It has never had *nearly* enough farms to feed its people directly.

The government has forced people to work the farms, the farmers can't afford to pay their workers because of price controls and hyperinflation. To a lesser degree a similar phenomenon occurred in the late Roman empire. Price controls, devalued currency and economic failure.
