Something similar he used in the Mars trilogy where there were COOPs where every employee owned a share of the company and there were no other shareholders. I don’t recall exactly how entering a company worked in the sense of buying or diluting stock.

The inspiration for the coop in the mars trilogy actually exists in the real world.

I think it’s called the mondragon collective and it’s a meta-coop ?

Here is the wiki about it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondragon_Corporation

I don’t have time to skim it now but it’s not small potatoes, it’s in the top ten of Spanish coorporation.

If it’s not in the Mars trilogy; it’s in another of Robinson book
