Have you ever encountered such environment?

I've seen it in microcosms, but I believe the reason I haven't seen it in macrocosmic scales is because it hasn't been allowed to exist by malicious actors.

And yes I see your point, that are these malicious actors simply a natural reaction to a model that is implicitly unsustainable, to which I write: Nyyyyyyyooh!

I think any system can flourish if given the right environment, and it's up to us to provide that environment. Nothing spooky or cosmological about what models or motives can inherently work or not, all ideas can function in a given realm, you just have to provide the realm.

As to "by whom?" Governments are still richer than a lot of billionaires, and billionaires only spend the bare minimum to get what they want, meaning that they bribe only a few key players in the game instead of the entire boardset. All we need to do is create a system of governance where ranking officials are further ranked by their level of corruption, and held accountable to their actions.

A good first step towards this is moving past a two-party system and allowing proportional representation to stop people for voting for the lesser devil. I have faith that our democracies can still change this

I like that... although the cynic in me quickly wonders how long before corruption infiltrates the corruption ranking, um.. ranks.

Which brings me back to thinking there's no hope for a solution until the preponderance of participants are decent at a bare minimum.
