@oblomov My current hunch is, the primary problem of socioeconomic stratification, the one most important to neutralise and prevent, is development of a sort of 'monetary event horizon', with people on either side of it having near-zero probability of ever finding themselves on the either side. To that end, I'd argue that it's important to review the sort of schemes zillionaires use to poverty-proof themselves, and convert them into something that could poverty-proof everybody. As a part of it, I believe that broader public awareness of zillionaires' schemes of defence against risk of poverty could help neutralise a whole bunch of pro-poverty-enforcement talking points.
