I've been thinking a bit about this problem lately, And one thought is we could have a different structure for organizations, where everyone participating (employed) automatically becomes part of the company as a shareholder. However, it's not clear yet how many shares should a person hold? Can we relate the value a person brings to the amount of shares? This structure could motivate people to be part of a company, as the company grows, the value of your shares increases.

Let's say that model does work, I'm going to guess it won't be that beneficial to most. The majority will probably sell at any opportunity they get, and a small percentage will continue to hold as the company becomes more valuable.

i've been on exactly same thought for a long time now

the effect you get by offering ownership is that existing personell will be more motivated to work harder and stay at your company for longer (so that the shares can vest)

this still won't solve the problems described in the article however
