The way to resolve it would be to form a first-world block and negotiate equal terms for treating extreme wealth.

Penalized by group action against defectors.

Which is to say something like this should come from the WTO, or not at all.

Anything less has too great incentives for defection.

That would be good and all...

But do you have actual evidence that we need it? (Instead of just "nice to have".) Because everybody just repeats that without evidence, like the OP.

There are plenty of reasons to expect the OP's prediction not to hold. I don't know how things play out in practice, and I don't think I've ever seen anybody that knows it.
