I'm not overly convinced by the current "no management" things either. But, I pretty much disagree with you from this on.
I think this outlook is either very semantic or are overlooking how much human organisations vary geographically and historically. We have had tribes, clans, nations, hoards, navies, divinely mandated empires, amateur field hockey teams, political parties, a diverse range of associations wherein people wear uncomfortable clothes and vow celibacy... An "organisation" is just a group of people a memoplex of human culture. We have had all sorts.
A limited liability company is just one of these. We are going to keep inventing more of them. I don't think it's far fetched to expect that one or two of them will produce camera drones, video games, or medicines.
If you think these are all the same, because the abbot is the manager or something along these lines, that's what I mean by very semantic. Otherwise, change is always possible.

By the way, for reference, VCs invested $48 billion (~= 44 billion €) in 2014, which was the top year since 2000. http://europa.eu/workingforyou/en/content/eu-launches-€-315-billion-investment-offensive-boost-jobs-and-growth http://europa.eu/workingforyou/en/content/eu-launches-€-315-...
