The solution to reducing inequality is not anti-market, but rather a restructuring of the rules of the game: digital antitrust, capital tax reform, public ownership of assets and data, industrial policies for upgrading, adaptive safety nets, and leveraging local culture (modern mutual cooperation, asset literacy). Measure progress by indicators of wealth and market structure, not just GDP growth.

There is no political will for such global reforms. You must agree that the ruling class will not deprive itself of either property (through antitrust laws and taxes) or privileges (by extending social guarantees, for example, to education). So the change of the social structure will occur solely contrary to the interests of the ruling class, as always in history. No one can predict what this new society will be like, but it is clear that its basis cannot be profit alone; otherwise, it will be the movement of history in a circle into another dead end of wealth concentration.
