Well it's abundantly clear who is benefiting from the current situation, so it's unlikely they will voluntarily "buy-in" to any change.
What is less clear is what the unwashed masses can do to stop ever-growing wealth inequality, when the institutions which are our only hope of prevention are willfully inactive, and have been for decades.
