Doh.
Billionaires should not exist, period. Governments should limit (through taxes and simple hard limits) how much one person, one family, one company can own, earn, and trade.
Put taxes in brackets and once you make over 50K per month, taxes on anything above that go to 100%
Once your networth crosses 10M, anything above that gets 100% tax.
No company should be larger than 1000 people
That sort of thing. These 100.000 employee companies are a cancer and ALWAY make the common folk suffer
Need investment? Have the government use all that shitload of tax money to fund a boat load of independent foundations that will fund companies, innovation, research
Have government fund multiple independent foundations that can fund news agencies with the limitation that they MUST be politically independent, and MUST be truthful as possible
This sort of stuff will make your world work and keep it working. The US now is a fat joke
