Maybe! I don't think it's one or the other though. I suspect a 'them versus us' approach is not going to be helpful - making worldwide laws forcing people to give away wealth over a certain amount seem both unlikely and problematic. I think working with the ultra rich to make 'improving education' as cool as 'having the biggest yacht' is more likely to have a positive outcome.
Thanks Sawyer - having read Elliot's post I like the idea but think collecting the data will be very difficult. An advantage of this 'simpler' system is that fewer (although not zero) judgement calls need to be made in the collection/presentation of the data.
