[P2P-F] 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.
