I'd basically like to see worker-owned corporations being tax-privileged (maybe a 5%, maybe a 15% discount tax rate) and some QoL legal features to make it obvious to people that they are signing up for a high-risk high-reward corporate structure. If I thought the idea had serious traction I'd look up what they do in Switzerland [0] and suggest people copy that. But I'd like to see new ideas experimented with that make it easier for workers or citizens to take on controlled levels of risk.
It is more a political project than an economic one; I interpret serial board members as a problem of power centralisation. The incentives shouldn't be to engage in that sort of centralisation, it can't possibly be a technically good idea. One idiot in the wrong place will cause too much damage and board members don't have time to keep track of multiple companies. It'd be good to do things that decentralise power.
