An Alternative System for Creating Wealth and Meaning

March 28 2023, by Matt Perez, Jose Leal, Cristina Imre

“Lead with Radicals benefits, rather than Fiat shortcomings.”

Non-Fiat Benefits

The system.

Co-Ownership As a co-owner, you are no longer exchanging your time and skills for a wage. You are one of many owners and have rights to earned dividends, the wealth that the company creates.
RADs You give RADs to other co-owners, and they give you RADs. The RADs you have determines how much of the wealth the company you have contributed to and you get a portion as earned dividends.
Radical Foundation

The Radical Foundation doesn’t tell you what to do, but where you are heading,

  • Will this decision make the work we do more or less decentralized?
  • Will it make it more or less transparent?
  • Will it get in the way of people finding meaning?
  • Will it go against a co-owner’s sense of belonging?
  • Will it make it harder to experiment?

Shortcomings

The Fiat system is what surrounds us. It is so all-encompassing that it has become invisible to us, like water to fish.

Profits, Wages
  • Owners have rights to all the wealth the business creates.
  • Everybody else gets paid a wage, not related to profits.
Command
& control
  • Directions come from the boss.
  • Attaboys come from the boss.
  • Sometimes financial bonuses come from the boss.
  • Punishment comes from the boss.
  • What’s right and what’s wrong come from the boss
  • Values, goals, and metrics come from the boss.
