It's just market dynamics. In order for there to be a healthy capitalist economy there must be people between jobs i.e. people without jobs i.e. the reserve army of labor. Structural unemployment is built in to the system, there isn't a literal cabal of people that actually enforces it (although the Fed is trying to boost unemployment with tight fiscal policy, so its not the market is natural and exists on its own without human manipulation)

Regardless, those at the top meet annually in Davos. They all know each other, they sit on various boards with each other. They don't need to even make phone calls to spread any word or idea, just spread it in a board meeting and by the end of the week it'll be global
With power in the hands of so few, there doesn't need to be a singular voice in control. all their interests already align
