I agree that there's no coherent ethical sense in which one "deserves" to reap greater monetary benefits because they won the natural lottery. However, wouldn't we need to ensure that there are incentives for competent persons to become, say, doctors? I don't think a lot of people would be willing to go through the rigors of med school if the pay at the end of the rainbow was around $40,000--or would Parecon med schools somehow be just as good (relative to the ones we already have) at preparing prospective doctors without being nearly as taxing?
