Higher inheritance/gift/estate taxes + closing loopholes like step-up basis upon death at least in the USA seem like pretty direct ways to combat these issues as well - though nobody with money (read: nobody who benefits from the inequality) really wants to support that, which is reflected by almost nobody in the comment section here mentioning them.

My friend doing B2B SaaS startups in India is very negative on the market since buyers are so penny pinching - sounds like the way is to build there but sell elsewhere.

You can even see this in the way that big public corporations behave.
