Millstein on the Recurrent Crisis: ‘Boards and Shareholders Have Ducked on Compensation’
March 12, 2009 by Joseph McCafferty
Our individual savings generate the entire capital market. Together “we”, the whole investment chain, are the owners of corporate America and we should act like it. “We” have ducked our responsibility to halt compensation excesses in the financial sector and, to a certain extent, sections of the rest of corporate America. Now that compensation has come front and center in the wake of a crisis which has not only exposed its flaws, but did so on national network television, activation is essential. Not just because compensation at excessive levels is unacceptable to most of the beneficiaries—us—(which is reason enough), but because compensation is a politically attractive ground for regulation.
