That seems like the inevitable result if you put in the effort to maintain resource scarcity and allow for individuals' accumulated wealth to be protected and safe. That's basically the libertarian dream of secure personal wealth.

You can reduce the value of accumulated wealth by devaluing it or directly taking it away, and you can make it possible for wealthy players to go bust, which are some of the main strategies for the real world. There's also the ability to give handouts to poorer players, but when you remove resource scarcity, it's not exactly an economy anymore.
