It's more important to make sure you don't have millions of people in your country who "lose", and to have solid institutions that keep it that way even in the presence of "winners" trying to change that. Good education, nutrition and transport for everyone goes a long way.
Like I said, Switzerland and Singapore are good examples of countries playing the game really well. Making it worthwhile for the rich to participate and have a stake in positive outcomes for the country. The USSR is probably the best example of Doing It Wrong. Pretty much every other country falls somewhere in between.
