Until everybody agrees no decision can be taken. But this results are just observed at a village scale and with that level of participation. An assembly can take several weeks of discussions until the total agreement is reached. There seems to be that behind this successfull examples there's an ancient culture of participation.

I don't get what you say. First you said all economic systems are bound to fail because they are "imposed". So if there are 100 people and 99 agree on something while 1 disagrees according to you the idea fails no matter how bright it is? Capitalism is "imposed", socialism is "imposed" even democracy is "imposed" for some people because there is a minority who doesn't agree. So all these systems are bound to fail... It sounds like aggressive pessimism
