I agree, though I suspect viability of models is heavily driven by the economic/regulatory/cultural environment. In the US, we have: 1. A poor social net, meaning employers need to take on the onus of providing many basic benefits like health care. 2. A political environment that conflates communism/socialism/collectivism, which really muddies the waters around organizations that aren't hierarchical. 3. A work culture that prizes profits over all else. Orgs do not have to be this way, and if you look at expectations/obligations of similar entities in other countries they're expected to balance profitability with things like social welfare. I think you're right in that within the US, corporations have shown the best ability to scale, but I believe this is a consequence of the economic/regulatory/political environment of the US than inherent superiority of corporate governance.
