I think no one can be rich enough when wealth is represented by pixels on a screen. Can you ever have enough pixels on a screen to be sure it would just all disappear tomorrow?
You make good points. Someone wrote a book proposing a change in corporate law across the board, that not only are they required to maximize shareholder profit (by law), they are also required to be good neighbors, responsible environmentalists, and fair employers. Embed that in the law, and change will result. Let's all hold our breaths, shall we?
We could go back to taxing corporations at 94% the way we did in the '60s, so they plowed their earnings into R&D instead of stock buy-backs, to shield them from taxation.
