My intuition would be that inequality per se is not a problem, it only becomes a problem when it allows abuse. But that’s not necessarily a function of inequality itself; it also depends on society. I can imagine a society which would allow a lot of inequality and yet would prevent abuse (for example if some Friendly AI would regulate how you are allowed to spend your money).
