> managerialist capitalism
I think the term of art you're looking for is actually "command and control structure". This exact phenomenon appeared under communist regimes as well and is not unique to capitalism.
If you're interested in a real world example of an alternative structure read up on the corporation Mondragon - it's better but even large coops are not completely immune to this problem. Modern businesses appear to have an inherent need to focus large groups of people towards a singular vision and it's quite difficult to avoid the "toddler manager" effect.
- wpietri 3y agoI get HNers often thrive on being the smart guy, so I get the urge to correct. But that only is tolerable when you're actually right. Try occasionally assuming that the person you're talking to know what you are about to mention and still said what they said on purpose. In particular, you don't seem to have any understanding of what managerialism is or why I am talking about it specifically here. And there's nothing you mention here that I haven't been familiar with for at least a decade. So no, I am not looking for that term.
