Yes, I haven't put all the bits and pieces together so it sounds coherent.
Right now we DO hire our leaders -- even the elected ones -- but with the
wrong goals (make more money) and selection criteria (good for business).
In brave new "Hansonland", corporations would not exist "to make a profit",
they would only exist for specific purposes to serve the public good. It
used
to be that way.
Leaders with specific qualifications would be hired for specific functions.
The corporation is probably the right form, but it needs a different
purpose.
Maybe next year (if there is one) I will crank out a longer paper about
Hansonland.
