We tried running that test globally multiple times it didn't work once.

Innovation comes from competition, plain and simple. Take away the competition and you take away the drive of people for more.

Besides that, it simply doesn't work like you suggest.

Let's imagine your perfect world, we will redistribute all of the wealth among all people equally.

Well the problem is, it would literally take less than an hour for all of that to become unequal. Some people would spend it outright on drugs and alcohol. Others will invest it to create something new thus creating more wealth in some form.

It's the pareto distribution a fundamental "law" that is natural in every single creative domain. The amount of goals scored in NBA? 20% of people have 80% of the goals. Same for articles published, records sold, money earned, etc etc.

You cant fight it. An equal redistribution of wealth is fundamentally not possible.
