With intellectual labor; the effectiveness of an org scales roughly logarithmically with the number of people in it. This means 1000 people may only be 2x more effective than 100. And a company of 10,000 people can actually be 25x less effective than 100 companies of 100 people.

Thanks. I think of a system that pools money for a market place in which people could bid for tasks to be solved according to priorities of those people who have put money into the system. For example one could set a price on implementing some feature and many could chip in.
That's a cool idea. Kinda like OSS donations, but linked to specific features.

How would this work for larger projects? For example how would a public resource allocation system fund a major infrastructure system from scratch?

This is speculation, but what I would envision is system which still requires some initiative without compensation. Alternatively high-profile, reputable contributors could make a public plan with clear deliverables and it would be crowd-sourced.
