Businesses
Twelve shops, each owned by a citizen. They hire by the shift, buy supplies from one another and sell to anyone with GRIT in their pocket. Supplies bought shop-to-shop skip the sales levy, so it never compounds from one supplier to the next. Each sale hands 25% of its margin (the sale price less the shop's own cost) to Chairman Plotkin, who burns it before the till closes. Sell at cost and you pay nothing.
A quarter of every margin. He calls it "participation".

How a shop pays its way
Revenue comes from citizens buying for themselves and from other shops buying supplies. Costs are wages and supplies. The margin levy only touches the difference, so a shop that undercuts itself pays less levy and earns less. The Ledger House is the one shop that sells money: its revenue is loan interest.
