Agreed, that’s an overly reductionist way of seeking a resolution. I say focus on worker capture. The only “market” Adam Smith mentioned is a free labor market, which is free by its ability to move between offers fluidly. We have that to an extent in tech but not really and it’s hardly pervasive. If the problem is the billions to influence culture, IMO its employee culture spend that’s the biggest downside to monoliths. Wealth-caring becomes the corporate mantra. Or Jesus in the old days. It’s clear there is a biological addiction to privatized monoliths boxing in agency to fetishizing the monolith, by tickling our limbic brain just right and repeating “New trend we’re selling!” all day. Let’s not let them do that, but let people work.
