If somehow you could distribute wealth massively to the bottom. Reproduction would explode, also if they have excess wealth and invest they'd no longer have to work either. So you lose workers and increased reproduction if you could somehow distribute wealth. But the amount of wealth is limited due to finite resources, like energy, meaning it's not currently possible*(to make most 'wealthy' in some sense.).
Significant money redistribution, say by printing new money, will result in inflation or hyperinflation. Also uncontrolled reproduction will exceed the finite resources, given time. Currently money limits things, it is rationing things, and most of the population is reasonably being disincentived from reproducing(though problematically not all of the population.).
Technology will eventually provide nearly unlimited wealth, which can be shared and distributed, but unless some technological miracle occurs, the resources will remain finite and thus the population has to stop growing. Constant growth in a finite medium, with finite resources, results eventually in a per individual drop in available resources, potentially even with full automation and perfect self-sufficient technology.
