gollark: Making a stock market, really, is just cart/horse misordering brought on by people wanting to bring in the shiny parts of the modern economy without the rest.
gollark: But a stock market won't work unless you somehow get everyone to subscribe to boring things like accounting and profit sharing and stuff.
gollark: Yes, an automated commodity market could be neat.
gollark: Companies don't really do accounting, or much internal division of labour or anything. Generally, they're just one person or maybe a smaller team sharing resources a bit.
gollark: Yes, I am sure you're thinking "but but but my company has a giant HQ and shiny adverts!" It's not really a company.
