Imperial Socialism

Background
Imperial Socialism is a model where social ownership of the means of production is achieved the same way private ownership is achieved in modern capitalism through the shareholder system that separates management functions from ownership. Imperial Socialism posits that social ownership can be achieved by having a public body of some sort that has its information open to the general population and is wholly responsible to them. Allowing owning the shares of publicly listed firms without affecting market-based allocation of capital inputs. Imperial Socialism could also be called "Pragmatic market socialism" because it does not require massive changes to society and would leave the existing management system intact, and would be at least as efficient as modern-day capitalism while providing superior social outcomes as public ownership of large and established enterprises would enable profits to be distributed among the entire population in a social dividend rather than going largely to a class of inheriting rentiers.
