>better than other systems

The conventional argument is that the rich invest their wealth in companies, loans to others, financial instruments etc. thus improving the economy. However you could alternatively have wealth more evenly distributed amongst the lower classes who would consume goods and services to directly grow the economy through increased demand.

The issue with having the wealth consolidated in the hands of the few is that they primarily invest in financial instruments which can cause sudden loss of capital and deflation in the event of an economic downturn. Conversely, when wealth is distributed more evenly the economy is less susceptible to financial shocks since the majority of wealth is in the form of consumer savings and demand.
