I've been working on a project I'm calling "Business in a Box" which is based on the idea that the consumer oriented interface to our economy has been radically optimized while the comercial interface has been obfuscated thereby artificially limiting participants. Basically, we would offer packages designed to get someone up and running with a profitable business in a short time. This would include training, equipment and supplies. The goal would be profitability not complete financial independence. Some examples would be carpet and upholstery cleaning, micro-farming, retail, micro-manufacturing and more. Each business would be an open source franchise where anyone could utilize our training and business plans, but for a small annual fee they could use our name and supply chain. If people are able to provide for themselves in some way they are much less likely to remain in a dead-end job living paycheck to paycheck.
