I would take a close look at feedback loops from wealth. The very poor is to poor to change anything, while the very rich can change laws and dictate world wide sentiments.

In the end the inequalities of power destroys any linear correlation between skill and income that might otherwise manifest.

Traditionally we've been looking at the lower end of the power distribution to mitigate this (unions, minimum wage, micro loans and so forth) it might be prudent to look at the other end (property laws, corporations, finance and so forth) with similar intentions.

I dont disagree - market distortions can be found anywhere. And ending them will both end billionaires and likely increase equality (less billionaires means more money to spread between everyone else)
