We'll there'd be no rich. We'd all share our incomes equally. As a result, nothing extraordinary would be possible.
You'd never have the automobile. Because there'd be no one with enough money to invent one. Rather we'd be focused on making sure everyone has a camel to ride. It'd be stagnant equality where no individual would have the financial capabilities to advance society.
Then again, without the possibility of being rich, nobody would ever have the incentive to make the world a better place.
(you know it and I know it. Nobody would ever invent anything if we couldn't get rich. Nobody would work harder since the only incentive for work is to produce inequality)
Sounds like a boring world where technology stays static over the span of 1000s of years. The poor would be better off in the short run, but as a whole, without capitalism and the incentive to gain wealth, the standard of living would be the same now as it was in Jesus's time.
Which would mean the poor would never really advance either. They'd be slightly better off than they were during the time Jesus was alive, and they'd be living that standard of living for the next couple thousand years.
Which would mean we'd still have leprosy, as nobody would have any incentive to cure it unless they themselves have leprosy.
