Liberal corporatism is the application of economic

Taylorism but called for democratization of the capitalism firm.[3] Liberal corporatists believed that inclusion of all members in the election of management would bring them into the process of management and in effect "reconcile ethics and efficiency, freedom and order, liberty and rationality".[3]

Liberal corporatism was an influential component of the progressivism in the United States that has been referred to as "interest group liberalism".[4] The support by labour leaders' advocacy of liberal corporatism of the U.S. progressives is believed to have been influenced by an attraction to the syndicalism and particularly the anarcho-syndicalism at the time in Europe.[4] In the United States, economic liberal corporatism involving capital-labour cooperation was influential in Fordism.[5] Liberal corporatism is commonly supported by proponents in Austria, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.[1]
