First of all: your current society has no chance at a future, AI overlords, mogul trillionaires, climate change and so on being the least currently concerning of your issues.
Nevertheless, one counter-intuitive policy which would end corporate control [1] (hence will never be implemented, again, no future for you) is supra-unitary taxation: effectively, tax rates above 100%, ensuring that the corporation has by default a lifetime (like a person they wish to be). Once the forever-in-debt corporation gets past a certain level of debt, it gets liquidated. Of course, corporations affected by this would have a certain scale (above $10 trillion, let's say) and a certain domain of activity (embedded AI, synthetic biology, nuclear fusion, asteroid mining, and similar).
