Carlo Filice advocates for the sharing of success, challenging the belief that hard work alone justifies individual wealth. He argues that existing market systems are inherently unequal, evidenced by the fact that wealth often persists within families across generations. While those at the lower end of the economic spectrum deserve fair compensation, the notion that the affluent earn their wealth through divine merit is flawed. Filice suggests reevaluating our perspectives on deservingness and considers redistributive policies informed by the understanding of structural inequalities.
We often don't deserve our success as much as we'd like to think, as not all economic success stems from merit or hard work alone.
The belief that honest, hard-working individuals always deserve what they earn is deeply ingrained, yet it overlooks fundamental inequalities in opportunities.
