This is what motivates me in my ... admittedly belief.

Of course politics will always play a huge deciding part in resource allocation. But if the allocation is based on a small "elite" then it looks a lot like historical societies - and we think we have moved beyond that.

If we believe in democracy for our civic society, if we believe in the Totalitarian Bet, why not apply democracy to the companies that are too big to fail?

It is also why I suspect founder led companies do very well (if the founder is good enough) - the internicine politics just gets overwhelmed by the founder picking and choosing - but history has taught us that it's vanishingly rare to find such people, to place them in the elite and have them continue to make excellent decisions over decades.

There are better solutions

Democracy is the worst possible form of government, except for all the others.

That's why not. Have you ever seen democracy be efficient at anything?

Just heard a great quote:

What separates bureaucrats and leaders is the latter has a hunger for detail, the former for order
