This is the dream -- cooperation through economic incentives rather than through economic or military coercion

That said, I wonder if it's sustainable because money tends to agglomerate over time, and power structures naturally arise

What keeps the system balanced?

No kings, no standing armies, no shared treasury. Just a cooperative decentralized network of merchants and towns with common interests in trade.

capital concentration is a capitalism problem.. 
fix it and the answer is yes, this would be sustainable..

money does not tend agglomerate per se.. it is an effect of a bad redistribution system.. or a bad balanced system in terms of salaries / work done..

the answer is to have more balanced salaries.. just compare any ceo and any average doctor or nurse wages.. fix it to balance the system..

then, fix human exploitation.. maybe through options instead just a salary..     then remove, centralized power over companies.. something like companies controlled by their workers (daos) 

then, add a way to redistribute the money from strong hands to weak hands.. and you get a balanced system.. I guess

and, yeah, this already exists.. it is similar to "anarco-sindicalismo" (anarchy+unions) and follows the basic principles of the socialism.. building on top of capitalism but being more social 🤔 I would read Koprotnik
