We already have something similar. "It's the Economy, Stupid". or, "The Economy of Stupid" aka The Invisible Hand Job. I think it was Rich Teerlink of Harley-Davidson who said, "When you empower dummies, you get bad decisions faster."

Most of the problems humanity faces are founded in selfishness, competition, ignorance and Evil(actions taken based on unquestioned belief). When combined with colonialism (extraction) and blind belief that humans are the only thing that matters, collective decision-making by fish/economy-gladiators won't bode well for the natural resources or regional governments and cultures. Techno-nationalism could be better replaced by a simple sales tax-based UBI. Or the latter at least implemented first to educate the fish about real costs of their overarching consumptionism paradigm. Otherwise, like now, the collective choices are biased toward cheap destruction and profitable competitive corruption. Europe chose war over peace in the 19th century because it was better for the economy. Plutocrats will pay to code such biased into populations, as they do now. Coke vs Pepsi.
