Although our society does exist in socialism in one form or another (all modern systems do). If you completely remove capitalism from the equation and the possibility of great wealth with it you surely knee cap many efforts for progress.
Would people work long hours to make a new an innovative product just for the sake of everyone else if there was no monetary reward in it? Since we have spoken so much of health care, if medical doctors were forced to concede some of the wealth they accumulate from thier specialized skills would we still get the best and brightest people going into the fields? While I'm sure almost all of them do do it partially for the satisfaction they get from helping others I would bet the money doesn't hurt either.
