@504DR If we're likely to see some form of "a zillionaire has to support a bunch of people" mechanism to return, I suspect a corporate-style empire-building would be the likeliest source of the culture. This practice is weaker in the present time than it used to be a couple of decades ago, but it still exists, and could probably be transferred to other fields of life.
The downside, of course, is that accepting such a development would put us on a pretty direct path towards introduction of other elements of neo-feudalism.

That's still building on old models.
For true and real change, the whole present system needs to be torn down and rebuilt.
One present proposal that addresses this is degrowth.
Revamping our monetary system to put ppl at the forefront vs corps.
Collective ownership or nationalized ownership of industry.
UBIs that allow ppl to live adequate lives without slaving at a job their whole lives.
A protection of the environment (the very life sustaining systems that allow us to exist in the first place) that supercedes ppl's desires for unnecessary comforts.
A system of governance that eliminates capitalism and authoritarianism, and goes beyond socialism, communism and all other previous forms of societal make up.
From historical data, the only successful societies (in terms of surviving and thriving without destroying our life sustaining planetary systems) were the small tribal communities.
With 8 billion ppl on the planet ( the core of every problem we now face, imo), that is not an option.
So something completely new must be tried if achieving a true and global egalitarian society is the goal.
