      1 house, sure, but only companies with 1 employee? That’s just entirely impossible without reverting back to a straight global federation of luddite city states, which would be slim pickings to the first technologically superior predator state (which they will be, since making rockets and guns at a rate necessary for warfare generally requires companies with more than one employee).

      The optimal system can’t just be an ideal spherical cow, it also has to compete with adversarial predatory nation states that don’t follow your ideals.

      I am a financial/business advisor to a small law firm. They have the best secretarial/paralegal team in the county. They also pay the highest rates in the county, have damn good profit sharing and have for as long as I’ve advised them. I told them that it’s what would happen. They didn’t hire different people, just the folk there felt valued and (I didn’t tell the lawyers this bit) probably like they owned the means they were producing. A little woah. But I like to think I made some good bosses out of them.
