I wonder if a co-op model where workers who are part of the co-op slowly accrue fractional interest in the firm with a continual dilution as new members join.

Almost like an inflationary pressure on the ownership of the co-op that might allow us to turn away from the gains continually traveling upwards long after the contributions of members have been made and they've moved on to other things.

You could still pay differential salaries if you wanted some hierarchy.
