    so far I haven’t seen any credible systemic solutions

    There are many credible systemic solutions to this problem but over the past 40+ years those solutions have been watered down and killed off.

    Things like:

    • High tax rate on the wealthy and a well funded IRS to enforce those laws
    • Strong regulations and well funded departments to enforce those regulations
    • Better education for the population at large and enough funding to give all members of the country free access to it
    • Strong labor unions and an well funded FTC to help protect them
    • A strong and FAIR justice system and the funding to keep it fair

    I’m sure there are others

      None of those are solutions to the problem (assuming it even is a problem) pointed out by the comment that you replied to — sociopaths tend to be more effective at climbing hierarchies and convincing people to follow them.
