Explanation
S1 asserts inequality is worse than estimated. Q states the problem: effective tax rates are not progressive on income. S worsens it: even less so on wealth. P gives the root cause: a staggering gap between measured and actual income of the prosperous ('missing income'). R proposes the solution: reengineer the tax net to capture it. S6 concludes the regime must be progressive and futuristic. The order is QSPR, option (b).
