As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn once said, "Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free." 

Exactly.

Most things in life are just trade offs.

Low freedom<>low risk / High freedom<>high risk

Low risk<>low rewards / High risk<>high rewards

Low rewards<>high equality / High rewards<>low equality

Low equality<>high freedom / High equality<>low freedom

Therefore:

High equality = low freedom = low risk = low rewards

Low equality = high freedom = high risk = high rewards
