Auto-Governance through Negative-Feedback Loop Social Contract
Concentration of wealth occurs because Profit is treated as Investor's Return. Imagine another Mode of Production where the Product itself is the ROI. This is only realistic if the people needing the Product are co-Owners of the Sources of that Product. For example, if 1,000 drinkers of milk were to buy and co-own a dairy for their mutual benefit, and if they were to use the Product (milk, cheese, etc.), as payment for covering the Costs of production, then there would be no Sale of the Product, and so there would be neither Profit nor Tax. This proposal is incomplete unless we consider what should be done with any surplus, and the Profit we will likely collect from Sales to non-owners. If we treat that Profit as an Investment from the person who Paid it, then that person will slowly gain co-ownership of the dairy's *growth*. Reflecting some % of Profit back to the Payer is a negative-feedback loop in the same way a steam engine needs a governor to control runaway pressure, business needs a governor (not government) to constrain runaway growth.
