It seems like the concept of wasted wealth-producing opportunity represents a a big part of the problem, given the unequal outcome described in the article. Metaphorically it seems like you could say that wealth creation opportunity is "shed" by systems with governmental inputs, and then another system collects the wealth creation opportunities, but in that system the sharpest perception of, and highest-leverage use of, the opportunities is restricted to one group; wealth goes into that one group's storage tank way more than the others. This larger tank surely has a metaphorical pipe leading to it, representing systems for acting on perceptions of wealth opportunity. And intuitively there are probably some leaks in the pipe: Somewhere, some of the benefit is perceived, but wasted. I wonder if there's a sustainable way to assess the wasted benefit, and transform some of this wasted excess wealth into a resource that can be captured and stored for direct use by the tanks a with lower supply of wealth, like the way a city captures groundwater from things like leaky pipes. And let's say this system could be abstracted, and built into a system that could be plugged into any part of the pipe, and it would find and exploit opportunities. In this way some smaller amounts of excess wealth that are naturally given up in pursuit of the overall efficiency of the 1% group could be captured for use by the other, larger group. And with some scaling and systematizing, perhaps these smaller amounts would really get impressive fast. (I have no specific method in mind but there are likely thousands of methods that could be employed at any number of junctures of technologies, systems, segments, industries, etc. Some of these are likely already identified--some would probably offer job creation for example. But I would guess that there are others that could be even more efficient and effective, especially if designed for this purpose from the outset)
