Nobel Peace Prize winner considers ways to break up wealth among the top 1%. His ideas aim at taking the focus off of personal wealth and move it towards personal and community type gains, to in effect create a win win that spreads the wealth back out.
He suggests that seeking government intervention isn't the answer. Instead, he wants to help direct business objectives towards solving problems where financial gains becomes a byproduct. He also hopes that charities and individuals will put their own gifted contributions towards this new social business structure.
Rather than the common pyramid structure of a few wealthy on top, with many poor below, he proposes aiming for a societal diamond structure. That is, where very few people end up on the top and middle, and most fall into the fuller center. He believes this will contribute towards happiness, and fulfillment in a society overall.
