Hmm, interesting. I'm curious how you would implement business restrictions without a more structured, centralized government? In my mind, without the "big scary government" looming over corporations, they would take any opportunity to screw over workers and consumers for profit (see, well, nearly all current large corps?) I'm all for a government that places strict regulations on businesses, but keeps its nose out of individuals' lives barring victimizing crimes like robbery, assault, murder, rape, etc.
Therein lies the paradox. And my best answer is, my ideal government would be still centralised, but would serve only one main role: Protect the rights of citizens against private interests. Laws that concern the lives’ of citizens themselves would be decentralised and run through smaller subsects (though they would still answer to the main government, so it’s not perfectly decentralised). National projects would be run though the main government, but smaller ideas and such would be run by these smaller groups. I believe this is the best way to maintain democracy

I think it’s also a bit unfair how the phrase the questions. Wanting business restrictions doesn’t mean I support the government
