Break apart the family. Have boys raised without fathers. Give fame and wealth to people whose values are such that you wouldn't want them in your living room, much less talking to your kids on a daily basis. Remove prompt and meaningful discipline from the schools. Tell children that the game of life is rigged against them and that they are victims. Accord status to charlatans. Spread conspiracy theories. Deride business as crooked and evil. Foster dependency. Destroy initiative. Lower standards. Increase a sense of entitlement. Push a hollow form of self-esteem as a substitute for achievement. Shun delayed gratification. Tolerate bad language and poor grammar. Neglect moral education. Attack the motives of any critics of this process.
Be cool.

. . .then act appalled when you see the results. Prescribe more of the same. Leadership.
Kurt,
Correct.

You forgot to add; set yourself up with a good lawsuit. Have winning the lottery as your investment strategy...
Bob,
I think the expression is "betting on the come."

And to insure predictable results, cluster the successful folks together in upscale communities and keep large and growing populations of failures as far away as possible. Lack of affordable public transportation, literacy and positive role models will take care of the rest. Gated communities, private schools and plenty of good security are not essential but always desirable.
John,
Isolation is an often unrecognized danger in societies.
