" A feeling of unfairness as business leaders take home the lions share of profits"

The social consequences of unfairness are huge. Once people feel they work in an unfair society they become cynical and lose motivation. I would argue a sense of fairness is the number one ingredient for a successful society.

Not just a social consequence, it affects the business too but it's hard to measure, because you'd need the productivity numbers from an alternate reality. It's similar to problems caused around having less testing. There's nothing to compare to.
