Find other people and invest with a group. You’ll end up with loads of companies with lots of small shareholders. If your shares become worth souch that you go over the 10M, you’ll have to sell some or have some taxes for taxes.
Maybe have governments fund independent investment foundations that can help setup startups
This isn’t even a utopia, it’s literally current capitalism with a small set of core rules added that will make a huge difference between now and how it could be.
It could be that nobody has to be poor anymore. Governments will have huge incomes so loads of money for socialist projects like free education and healthcare and housing.
The few problems I’ve seen mentioned so far, to me, are literally details that follow from the core rules.
Nobody can be worth more than X (and for now, say that X is 10M) and companies cannot be worth more than Y (let’s say 1 billion dollars). Both values can be +/- 5% if you hover at the limit, that doesn’t really matter much. What does matter is that we’re now finally all equal and still have capitalism as the core engine, allowing for all the freedoms we have today

Yeah, it needs a lot more thought put into it because with wildly fluctuating equity prices you run into scenarios where a run up on a security triggers you to have to sell a bunch and give it to the government but then if that security returns right back to the price it was the week before you’re just shit out of luck. Because of that it means people will go to great lengths to find ways to circumvent this because it’s not fair.
I’m not saying it’s a bad idea what I’m saying is that it needs refined and thought through a lot more
