Yes, have a market-based legal system (a set of laws that are established via continuous market evaluation) instead of a politics-based legal system (a set of laws established by decisions made via a political system).

How about not having a corrupt political system? You know, one with transparency, rules, polices and punishes conflicts of interests, and corrupt politicians and judges lose their jobs and go to jail when they break the rules.

Or we could just make the oligopoly explicit like whatever it is you are proposing.

First point: We have a transparent political system…many years ago. The leverage points get co-opt and even separation of powers cannot prevent its eventual gaming and corruption.

Second point: the market-based legal system will not devolve into a system of ineptitude only if the money used in the market system is sound and free from political control, which we currently do not have in the US.
