If you're interested in this concept, you may enjoy the novel "The Unincorporated Man" which is set in a future where everyone (except the protagonist) has personal shares traded on an open market.

It's a bit thick on ideological propaganda of the extreme capitalist/libertarian type, but I found the exploration of the concept fascinating enough to get through most of it.

Thank you! I knew I'd read a novel with this premise but could not recall the name.

It launches a decent series with each book having different premises, as well.

Very interesting book to read, highly recommend it!
