Capitalism is trying to move to a model where everyone is atomically isolated, an independent contractor making anonymous sales in a marketplace. That means lawyers, contracts, and rigid rules and documentation. The goal is to eliminate the kind of fluid high trust social networks that characterized work life in the past. Partly because if everything is more rigid, it's easier to exert control, partly to prevent things like unions from forming. They want a perfectly abstracted workforce, free from the messy details that force you to treat your workforce as made up of people. Notice that we went from "personnel" to "human resources" to "human capital management". That's the Ayn Rand utopian dream made real.
