No it would be mass poverty. Without property or anything. if "Nobody" owned anything, how would we do things? Everyone would have a few thousand dollars and then something amazing would happen, someone would want to eat, and someone would want to go to bed, someone else would want to find a house. Someone else would want to solve some problem they were working on. Someone would get sick and need medical attention. Someone would die and be born and then immediately we'd need doctors and architects and builders and bankers and bedmakers etc.
Less nobly there would be pick-pockets and murderers and thieves trying to come between fools and their equally distributed money.
Within a few months you'd be back to having rich people and poor people. The extremes of wealth and poverty might not yet exist in large numbers but the mechanism of their creation certainly would.

If you took all the money in the world and divided it equally among all the people in just a few years we would be pretty much where we are today. There would be rich and there would be poor. Assuming of course you had a free market system and the government didn't come in and tax all the money away. Those who produce make money, those who don't don't. The US is a free market system and most immigrants who came here came here with nothing but somehow some of those families have become wealthy. So maybe your experiment has already been tried and here is how it turned out.

Happiness is the product of serving our fellow humans in some meaningful way. It is not a real goal in and of itself because it cannot be directly had like some commodity, though Madison Ave. would have us believe otherwise.
This apparent economic problem -- extremes of wealth and poverty -- is actually a spiritual problem Enough material resources exist on planet earth for each person to have at least the basic necessities of life. No one need be without adequate food, clean water, shelter, health care, safety, or education. The missing spiritual quality that underpins our lack of political will is our -- meaning all peoples -- ignorance of and lack of true understanding of the reality of the oneness of humanity and everything that implies. Our lack in understanding the profound implications of this reality is fundamental to our lack of political will to act to redistribute some of the earth's wealth, our lack of understanding that like equity for women, all would benefit.
What will we do when everyone is fed, watered, clothed, educated, and medicated? We will then begin to learn what it truly means to be human. We will be free to invest in building people as the primary source of wealth instead of unbridled material greed and consumption. To pursue our own excellence when our basic material needs are met
Uniformity, each person having the same, isn't the same as unity.

It has been said that if all the money in the world were divided equally, within a few years it would be right back in the hands of the people who had the most money to start with.

finding at it logically, interior the long term it may make little distinction. There are people who could placed their proportion right into a sock under the mattress, the place it may depreciate. There are people who could placed it into cutting-edge account at purely approximately zilch interest - that does no longer save according to inflation There are people who could make investments it to fulfill inflation There are people who're like the Richard Bransons of this worldwide who could make it improve 10-fold. some people could bypass mad and spend all of it on high priced existence then wake one morning to stumble on it had all long previous. some could pay off their funds owed then accrue greater. probably been the comparable considering that all of us lived in caves and bartered products or used sea shells for funds. some prospered and a few did no longer.

After a while some people would begin to accumulate more money than others and others would begin to have less. This would continue until a new equilibrium of rich and poor was established..

This is sort of like communism which isn't good. This still isn't happiness because people will find ways to make more money than other people. Its called Competition

That would be the worst thing you could do and the first step towards total destruction of an economy. Read Atlas Shrugged.
