The problem is we might already be too late to stop it, especially since it would require global cooperation to stop. Amassed capital right now can already bribe and control governments due to its scale, and isolated attempts to curb the power of the lauded elite will only either make them use their money to depose the current regime or have them leave the country. Unless we can get international agreement to stop this runaway concentration of wealth scenario from happening - which is extremely unlikely, since the country hosting the rich benefits from their presence in the short term despite the long term detriment - humanity seems destined for that dystopian eventuality.
