Vedeli CEOs silných firiem o prichádzajúcej kríze?
Mnohí americkí CEO sa chvália talentom a nosom na investovanie do akcií resp. zhodnocovanie peňazí. Avšak realita ich "talentu" je asi niekde inde. Zapácha to totiž kriminalitou a parazitizmom...
Balzac’s maxim that “behind every great fortune lies a great crime” may yet prove a fitting epitaph for American capitalism. A recent survey by the Wall Street Journal reveals that CEOs at major US financial and real estate firms converted tens of millions of dollars of overvalued stock into cash prior to the eruption of the current financial crisis, even as many of their corporations approached the precipice.
The Journal’s findings underscore the parasitism and criminality of the US financial elite. Defenders have long justified extravagant CEO pay by claiming that these were the talented “risk-takers” who generated enormous wealth for investors.
