This moves all of us forward in the world economy, a consensus goal. But at the same time workers who were not able to invest in stock are left without jobs and damaged economically by downsizing. Critical theorists focus on this aspect, and remind us that the system isn't working for these workers. Their focus is more local, more narrative, less bottom-line, less willing to see downsizing as consensual. For one thing, that example acknowledges the importance of situatedness.
Consensus tends to operate without such acknowledgment.
