What about a stronger social and welfare state, like in some progressive European countries? But as soon as Americans hear "social" they think of communist Russia and North Korea, so you can't even have that conversation.

It’s unclear to me how having a welfare state makes wealth and political power less centralized. I think you’d just need massive decentralization of finance and political power, full stop.

That's just feudalism with extra steps, because that person on welfare is not given the same representation as a multi-billionaire with lobbying power.
