Heh, yeah. Love hypothetically, how would a company like, act, be, without any government influence? I mean there's definitely like sketchy shit that should be prevented ideally, like bad food or bad drugs? That seems helpful. Prijkt sinds other positives?
But in like a lawless wasteland... Yeah if your service or product is good, people want it, want to work on it for pay (and which rates? Well maybe like a union instead of a government that negotiates?). But what about people just downright stealing? Maybe a market for protection would pop up, and live would become super unethical, because there will prolly always be a dick who wants to steal stuff? Just for his own good.
But by yeah if humans were super empathetic it would just work. Of people idk... Could really position then in others and think a bit honestly about things or something? Tbh its something that happens on small scales guess, like oh friends-weekend things or something.
