An alternative would be for wages to not lag production, and for the ultra-rich to make less money.

This isn't what social credit is about. Even if you add up all the wages that go to the rich it's still less than the value of the goods produced, hence the need for debt to fill the gap.

I agree I'd like to see far less inequality BTW.
