I think your overall picture is simplistic too. Many managers (and police, and prosecutors) act contrary to the interests and wants of the capitalist class. Managers have their own interests which are frequently at odds with those of their employer. https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/social-sciences/agency-theory https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/social-sciences/agency-...
