It isn't anywhere near complete. In the US, corporations fight with the state. In most Nordic/North European countries, corporations are the state (the history is just totally different, large corporations have run those countries for decades). I will give you an example: Germany we can agree is a fairly rich economy, the average German citizen has the same net wealth as a Greek citizen...a country where the economy basically doesn't function, unemployment has been in the high teens for two decades, etc. I also knew someone who run a chemicals business in Europe. In the UK, unions fought every step the way, they negotiated huge salaries for members, they would make threats, they would strike. In Germany, they just rolled over. As long as you paid the right people off, low wages, subsidised loans, etc. They just did whatever management told them (I think people who talk about worker representatives on boards assume that there is some scrutiny going on...I have never seen this occur). The closest comparison is probably China. Very similar.
