I've heard several prominent thinkers argue for this solution to our current system. The person quoted in my signature, John Rawls who is widely considered the most influential political philosopher of the 20th century, argued that a "property owning democracy" his term for a system where all industry is owned by the people working it is one of the only two economic models that can create a just society. The other was Democratic Socialism. Both forms of capitalism, libertarianism and a well-fare state, he said were unjust.
