I'm not saying OP should not be allowed to think about or solve this problem - rather, I am pushing him to think harder and deeper about his solution and its possible consequences.
It's easy to provide a possible step 1 of the solution to a complex problem. Brilliance and wisdom lies in explaining why your proposed step 1 is the best way to get to steps 2,3, and 4.
- ryandamm 11y agoDon't push _me_. Read Piketty; the explicit goal (and solutions) are aimed at leveling wealth inequality. Yes, good governance is better than bad governance. But problems of inequality -- and reduced social mobility, and the role of human labor vs capital -- are real, and require real solutions. That said, Piketty's proposed solutions aren't currently practical. Did you see the recent estimate that 8% of global wealth is parked in tax havens? http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2016/01/14/parking-the-big-money/ http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2016/01/14/parking-the-big-m... Yes, the problem is large, and does involve good governance. I was only sharing one proposed solution. The sad fact is, the best solution looks intractable. I'm open to suggestions.
