I am an investor. I'm also a lawyer, so I have an idea how bad the disconnect is between shareholders and the companies. Free enterprise depends on the assumption that the owners of a business control it. Unfortunately, that is not how it works for the most part, though, at least in big companies.



I don't see how you can portray my suggestion as government presenting interference from outside interests, though. It's the government that set up the corporate laws in the first place. Unfortunately, they fixed them so that they favor managerial control over stockholder control. You could just as easily claim that the present situation is the result of government interference.

Now that is a Brilliant statement.
