How can we transcend the dualistic perceptions of Capital and Labor in an industry?

This is a very interesting question. If you could clarify it, that would be wonderful but based on my current understanding, I would propose it has something (but not everything) do to with contrasting financial and human values that co-exist inside an organisation. The corresponding relationship between these factors goes some way to reconciling (or not) this gap...
I wrote a piece on this a while ago and thought I'd link to it here for your reference...

Transcend this thinking by sharing the new reality of the knowledge economy. Only 20% of the value of corporations today is tangible--what you are calling capital. The rest of the value is intangible which resides in people and knowledge.
A good place to learn about this is a community website we host for businesspeople interested in the field of intellectual capital (referenced below). A related site describes how companies can identify the components of the hidden 80%, the intangible side of their business.
