Very briefly, my feeling is owners have become so faceless and indirect that executives and boards have sort of "broken loose" and created "their own class", effectively answering to no-one. I suspect that this breeds a "political" work environment, and a kind of inequality that is more difficult to accept psychologically (than the old owner-worker divide): that some people are paid hundreds of times more for what is essentially their labor, and have vastly greater opportunities, than others, mostly based on "who they know". It incentivizes a "you scratch my back; I scratch your's (at the owner's expense of course)" kind of economy.
Anybody feel similarly? Anybody better able to put it into words? :P
