The first point would be policies aimed at distributing ownership of property etc. So for example we could have a high tax for:

1. Real estate not directly used by the owner as his or her residence or place of work.

2. Shares of a business where he or she does not work (Zuck doesn't get taxed as heavily on facebook shares as the investors do)

A major part of the problem is that ownership itself is so heavily concentrated that freedom for ordinary people is not possible. But if we have policies which encourage smaller businesses, weaker concentrations of wealth and more ownership by more people that would be a major start.
