In small groups that buy and co-own the Means of Production
very much like any business or organization, but with the
following Terms of Operation as self-enforced constraints:
1.) Product is the Investor's Return. This means Consumers will
micro-invest by pre-paying for results, become co-owners of that
business and receive the Product itself as a side-effect of that
ownership
2.) Profit is the Payer's Investment. This means late-coming Consumers
will overpay for Product as usual, but we will treat (at least some %
of) that value as though they had invested as described in #1.
3.) Investments are commitments of Future Labor and Physical Sources.
This means we will issue a deposit-based, insuring currency backed by
both the land and tools and other inputs, plus the work needed to
transform those assets into a Product.
These adjustments allow us to move away from excessive token-passing
and toward productivity that can safely reach stasis - eliminating the
perceived need for infinite growth.
