For a moment, it seemed like maybe you were suggesting... a union.~ That might have worked 15 years ago, but I think it's going to take unions and government, working along near-parallel vectors, to bring the economy back into a sustainable power-balance among its various institutions. Corporate management and moneyed elites have erected a nice little fortress full of positive feedback loops for themselves, and have been steadily plugging the holes in it for 40 solid years now. They're working on mindless, robotic slave labor in an effort to defeat the labor unions forever, but they're also still relatively open to attack by government, as buying it off with corruption has so far been sufficient to keep it at bay.
