We could always introduce a purge. Maybe every 5-10 years (random) the 10 wealthiest individuals must fight to the death. Win or lose they lose all their money and have to start over. Its like the Olympics. And they can use their money to equip themselves, with tech and weapons.

Its like the Olympics

But yeah capitalism is no bueno

In capitalism, the wealthiests make the rule, not us.

I'd say Capital itself makes the rules, the wealthiest just try to guess at those rules the best they can. The M-C-M' circuit isn't very "human" in design, it's more like a law of nature for this level of development.
