corporate governance

by: Jonathan Salem Baskin

I wrote yesterday that the way holders of stock in companies are treated amounts to benign disregard, at best, and fascist manipulation, at worst. So we can complain that execs are either 1) getting to rich, and/or b) dumber than dumb, but we'll grow old and bitter (and poorer) if we wait for corporate boards and government regulators to step up and change things.

If many corporate leaders have run their companies as drunken sailors at the till (or, more aptly, like wolves with the key to the hen house), maybe it's time for true stockholder revolutions, and the initiation of real, voter-driven democracies?
