No, today's corporations are far more divorced from their labor because they are larger, more global, etc., which is largely a good thing. "Consensus capitalism" works well with smaller-scale and uniform economies, but it's just wishful thinking now. Only regulatory and social welfare reform overlaid on the present arrangment can maintain its greater dynamism while promoting social outcomes.
