> most people are horribly risk-adverse
Free market socialism (i.e. a large UBI + single payer healthcare + low regulation) would largely mitigate that risk aversion, especially when combined with low levels of personal debt, since if you fail you can always count on decent healthcare and the UBI check.

That can work fairly well. If you finance the government largesse with a land value tax, you can even untax capital and labour and remove almost all distortions to the economy.
