In small groups that buy and co-own the Means of Production very much like any business or organization, but with the following Terms of Operation as self-enforced constraints: 1.) Product is the Investor's Return. This means Consumers will micro-invest by pre-paying for results, become co-owners of that business and receive the Product itself as a side-effect of that ownership 2.) Profit is the Payer's Investment. This means late-coming Consumers will overpay for Product as usual, but we will treat (at least some % of) that value as though they had invested as described in #1. 3.) Investments are commitments of Future Labor and Physical Sources. This means we will issue a deposit-based, insuring currency backed by both the land and tools and other inputs, plus the work needed to transform those assets into a Product. These adjustments allow us to move away from excessive token-passing and toward productivity that can safely reach stasis - eliminating the perceived need for infinite growth.
