    I dunno, I feel like it is possible for a company to be worker-owned with workplace democracy, where the highest-earning worker earns only one and a half times as much as the lowest earning, instead of hundreds of times more.

    And even then, I think wages shouldn’t be a thing at all - but instead that economies should be need-focused, rather than profit-focused.

    It would be great if for example woodcutters delivered wood directly to farmers, farmers food directly to woodcutters, and truck drivers received goods directly from both, and so on.

    No wages, just cooperation without monetisation.

      Works at the small scale, but as you grow, so does human greed.
