One of the best books I read over the past few years was <i>Democracy at Work</i> by Wolff. I'm in my 30s now and have some real savings from working during my 20s, enough that I could conceivably have a go at starting a business to solve some problems that I see. Unfortunately I can't think of my relationship with the hypothetical employees of this hypothetical business as anything other than exploitative. The book introduced me to the idea of a worker-self-directed cooperative (which is a different from your local grocery co-op or credit union) which might dissolve such a relationship. The only tech companies I've heard of who are structured similar to this are a consulting/product company called Informal Systems and Motion Twin, the developer of the game Dead Cells. I'm sure such a business has its unique problems but after a decade of seeing the dysfunction inside "regular" companies my mind is pretty open in this regard.
