For example:
Marc -> Marc Ltd.
Marie -> Marie Ltd.

And in addition this possibility:
(Marc Ltd., Marie Ltd.) -> Marc & Marie Ltd.

The "glue" behind contracts managed by the network as ethereum promise it.

In this case:
We could change this phrase from your article:
"After all, firm isn't a person and can't really strive to maximise profits. Only people can."

To this one:
"After all, a firm is a person and can really strive to maximise profits. Because firms are
people."

What would be the rest of the article ?

company := madeOutOf(1 person | N companies)
1 person -> 1 company

In such a case, we could change this phrase from your article:
"After all, firm isn't a person and can't really strive to maximise profits. Only people can."

To this one:
"After all, a firm is a person and can really strive to maximise profits. Because firms are people."

Maybe the "mechanism", the magic sauce could be ethereum[1] ?

A while ago, I also reached the same conclusion as you did on this article.

I think one of three things can be redistributed.
1. redistribution of income
2. redistribution of stocks
3. redistribution of work hours

USA citizens may resort to redistribution of work hours si ce they are reluctant to accept income redistribution.

I'm so excited to expect proto-post-scarcity societies triggered by income redistribution.
