I would love to see more coops start up as it puts each employee with the responsibility of working as hard as they wish, but also taking on the responsibility.
Or at least giving employees stock shares.
Oh also raise taxes, on the rich or force them to invest their excessive money into the economy (investment projects or even funds/stocks for instance).
- treyfitty 3y agoHuberman Lab and Marc Andreesen just had an episode about this. Something about status and power dynamics, and how the current guard will never allow such a drastic change to the status quo because it jeopardizes their existence. Idk if they said this in the episode, but I believe this to be true, even if it were the most optimal economic arrangement. People’s desire for finding their local maxima prevents us from achieving a global maxima.

Better for employees, better for consumers, better for the overall character of communities. Also, regions that are dominated by smaller firms tend to have the most robust economies.
