Um, success isn't its own meter. You don't get "success points".
Success is measured by power accumulated and that power is wielded through
wealth.
And in a world where all property is private (or effectively private
through use restrictions) and with very few limitations on how one can
wield economic power, the ability to destroy life and liberty with
economic power is as great as with governmental power.
