BP comes to mind.
Stock tanked.
CEO fired.

Are you replying to post 47, or the first one I made?
To: starlifter
No, the argument is not "flawed" it is merely incomplete inasmuch as I didn't address all of the various market distortions that might apply; however, since I prefaced everything with "for example" it should have been obvious that I was intentionally sketching only a partial analysis - I'm not getting paid for a full academic analysis, so you won't be getting that.

"...too many companies employ high-paid turkeys..."--and so that means we're supposed to hate American capitalism? Hardly The fact that people are free to spend money as they see fit it a good thing, and in America it's usually spent very wisely because Americans are exceptional.

"...there are few if any examples of the free market in large corporate governance."Hey guy, most hiring and most private buying and selling in the US is done by, though, or with big corporations --and American capitalism is overwhelmingly free and good. OK, anyone can find things about it they don't like about it but without hard clear solutions it's all just a bunch of crybaby griping.
Complainers are going to have to come up with something better or leave 'corporate governance' to overpaid CEO's like myself and find something else to keep busy with.

Stock would have tanked given the circumstances.
CEO was inept and tone deaf during the spill. He ended his career withthem when he whined “I want to get my life back.”

Academics [sic] hate being told their arguments are flawed.
Thanks for playing.

As I'm not an academic, you must be referring to yourself. Sorry you can't deal with the fact that your argument was flawed.
