I am becoming more convinced that it is not Capitalism itself that is toxic, but Big Business.

If (in some hypothetical way) businesses were capped at e.g. 15 staff - innovation would be slower, but it would be:

- More sustainable

- More locally adapted

- The supply chain ecosystem as a whole would be more resilient

- Damaging decisions by a few huge businesses would not outweigh good decisions from the other 99% of businesses, as happens today.

I sort of agree with you, but how would you run any kind of industry on 15 employees? I think my limit would be somewhere in the ballpark of 100-200. That feels "big" to me, but not "huge faceless corporation"

Small businesses would become hyperspecialized, and industries would be spread across networks of small businesses - not all internal to a single big one.

It can seem inefficient at first, but would like be much more resilient to supply chain and other disruptions.
