I fully agree on the role of luck/randomness on our lives.
But I disagree on what the author is suggesting : wealth redistribution.
I do think that taxes are necessary (until proven otherwise) but I think that wealth is a second order effect of power. Trying to fix the inequality problem by targeting its derivative is barely helpful.
We should really look at the power structure and network instead, obviously this is also more difficult to tackle as power is somewhat ill defined and not fungible.
I tend to think that the _less wrong_ solution would be to build power traps and power diffusers, in practice trying both to avoid concentration and to maintain a minimal floor.
