> Switzerfy the economy

Just off the top of my head, the Swiss:

don't make airplanes (no Boeing, Embraer)

don't make cars (no GM, Ford, Toyota, etc)

have big consolidated banks (UBS & CS)

have large trading firms (Glencore, Trafigura)

etc....

My point is not to nitpick (I actually agree with your post) , but to show that even in a tiny country like Switzerland (smaller than Chicago), it is hard to do that.

No, my point about Switzerfy is to mean that we need to distribute power and assets more evenly just as the Swiss distribute power more evenly politically. We've left too much to float to the top of the economy where those who have enough wealth which they can roll over interest with little effort on their part.
