but rather over whether more people would live better lives if ownership were more evenly distributed than it is now.

I would like to pipe in that:

Ownership is something that is competed for. The individual or group of individuals who provide the most benefit to consumers earn the ownership (absent government intervention). Therefore, forcibly redistributing the ownership places ownership in the hands of (significantly) less competence, on top of removing at least some, who knows how much, incentive for competing and achieving better consumer satisfaction, and therefore the consumers (society) suffer.
