I want wealth to be an indicator of a well-rounded member of society, instead of its current role as a proxy for sociopathy.

Also, how about relabelling excessive financial accumulation as something along the lines of ‘financial obesity’.

Obesity used to be a sign of wealth, and confer higher social status. So oligarchs would be introduced as "the biggest, the fattest, the most corpulent of them all, Richie Apartheington!"

Now, aside from everyone being fat, the poor are especially fat

And the rich aren't because they have the time and resources to be healthy
