Society should reward good stewardship of owned resources, as well as good work.

Stewardship is not ownership, though.

A king, an absolute monarch, effectively owns the country, and his position is hereditary. A prime minister does not own the country, despite "being in charge", and it's not hereditary. People overwhelmingly prefer the latter system.

I don't see why business (economic production) should be any different.

Ownership of capital is not stewardship.
