You should look up the Mondragon Corporation. It's a worker owned cooperative. Highly democratic institution. I'd postulate that by and large due to the nature of it, and with tens of thousands of similar edifices in concert we could excise a great deal of power (wealth) from the government and corporations, placing it in the hands of the people who earned it.
Entities like this can't get funding though, since it endangers the contemporary business model and leaves little in the way of profit for banksters since by nature company stock is traded only internally, exchanged between employee and the company to prevent external interlopers from gaining a foothold. Governments would also see a great deal of their power dissolved as a product of the internal democratic processes dealing with social issues.
It comes with issues, but with multiplicity, I think the stratification would be greatly remedied. The stratification comes from non-owners participating in the business, they don't have voting rights and they're subject to lower compensation, generally. That's what we're subject to now, generally, in any case. With more companies following this modality, I believe that would be alleviated to a degree where if one was insistent they could always find an opportunity to become a worker-owner.
