Given the increased ease of setting up businesses now, we actually have a wonderful opportunity for millions to own capital. There needn't be a battle between worker and capital. https://twitter.com/efjaebe/status/1361226775880163333
1. Competition for good people at all levels vs startups etc will lead to bigger businesses providing capital schemes / workers will have an expectation of capital exposure.
2. We shouldn't discourage people working behind personal limited companies through crap like IR35 rules, we should ENCOURAGE it.
That may mean rethinking employee safety nets etc with this in mind. But even now there are contractor umbrella businesses that could make this work for employees with no idea how to do this.
Millions of people either with ownership over their own labour (personal company) or ownership in a company they are labouring for (stock incentive schemes).

We could transform the discussion and create a nation of incentivised entrepreneurs.
At the moment we just risk creating a massive divide between capital and labour instead of creating a genuine win win.
Plus, worth adding, that a worker being a supplier changes incentives. People see their obligation differently. How can I win more business from my client, rather than how little can I do to get paid by my employer.
