I'm not pro-capitalism but I'm curious what flavor of replacement you would choose.

I prefer Georgist economic democracy.

  1. All firms are structured as worker coops
  2. Land and natural resources are collectively owned with revenue derive from common ownership going out as a UBI
  3. Common pools of capital collectivized across multiple worker coops through a system of venture communes.
  4. Public goods and mutual aid institutions funded through some variant of quadratic funding

@jlou
A different thread: why only worker co-ops, and not also other sorts of co-ops?

I do wonder if, in order to encourage innovation, it's a good idea to allow non-coops in limited forms.

For example (and feel free to adjust these numbers), you can start a business and employ people but as soon as you pass €1 million revenue or 5 employees (whichever is first) then it has to become a co-op.

The existence of UBI, UBS and an economy that's majority co-ops should limit exploitation.
