>So if I understand your position, you want information to always be free in every transaction, so when you go to the store to buy a pack of gum, you can look up the entire supply chain, figure out the entire cost for that gum and come to a reasonable price between the buyer and seller?
You bet your sweet patootie I do. It would go a long way towards curbing human rights abuses, too. But you're engaging in a bit of a slippery-slope fallacy, because we were talking about large property and business sales, not gum.
As to how to implement this regime, I'd love to put the big brains that are currently relegated to glorified ad sales, Ponzi scheme engineering, and bigot-corrections (that would be tech, finance, and social justice advocacy, respectively) on it.
- zie 3y agoYou know that you can do this now, presuming the companies involved are public companies? It's not 100% but for the enterprising sort you can figure it out. This is basically what investors do all day, track down and dig into companies and how they make their money. Then they apply future growth compared to current value and decide if they want to buy in on the future of the company or not. If they are not public companies, then you have to have a plausible excuse for the private company to share that information with you. Investor as the job title usually gets the job done, provided they want more money invested.
