You should take a look at the book "Beyond Civilization" by Daniel Quinn
(and also Ishmael by the way). It talks about a new tribalism model,
transposed from tribal societies, and it gives the Circus organization as a
modern model. That is in Circus all have a task to accomplish (even if
artists get the most focus, there are no more important in the Circus
structure), even if there is a boss (to hire, fire, etc) he does not earn
more and he's not 'superior' and has to do other jobs, and the Circus give
not a salary but a mean to live (it recycles old artists into the Circus
structure, and child of circus people join the Circus). But Daniel Quinns
explains this better than me :)
