99.9% of entrepreneurs I've met (and I have actually met quite a few of differing successes) have shared the personality trait of not wanting to be led by others. So for all the common sense chat about entrepreneurs needing a financial incentive, my 2p is those people will always do their thing.
100% agree with you there. And more broadly I think a movement toward co-operatives and self-management would likely see the positive traits typically applied to 'wealth creators' expand to more people too.

Also no one in a Starmer thread is seriously talking about stopping anyone becoming "wealthy" - whatever that means.

The issue is whether they go and do it in the US or Asia instead of here.
My other 2p is that on inheritance, yes, very wealthy people will avoid it. But that's a small % of the population. What you're starting to see, and will suddenly start to be very common is massive windfalls across a large section of the population from people inheriting property. As an eg my OH and siblings were left a tiny share of a will from some distant relative (c.£200) - the main beneficiary was getting something like 800k from a property in Rugby. Although that wasn't quite enough so they tried to alter the will and cut out the adjacent relatives to get the full >£1m.
