We might have to come to terms with the underlaying physics first. Basically there is no circuit breaker to the positive feedback of accumulating wealth.

It's not like this is a new problem. The Ancients devised debt jubilees as a circuit breaker for compound interest and Michael Hudson wrote a book some years ago, titled, "Forgive Them Their Debts." Basically arguing Christianity's original message was to bring back the Jubilees, but the message, as usual, was co-opted by the powers that be.

Remember, Jesus was all peace, love and turn the other cheek, except when it came to the moneychangers.

So if we ever want to really fix the problem, it isn't by complaining about the effects, but uncovering the causes. As well as pointing out the history of how it keeps repeating. Then making it such a foundation of our educational system, that it can never be uprooted, or buried.
