Democratic capitalism-the source of America's vast wealth, the
foundation of our entire economic system-is threatened as never
before, not from without but from within. Shareholders today no
longer own, except in the narrowest legal sense, the corporations
they have invested in. Emboldened by the Supreme Court and enabled
by a compliant Congress and compromised regulators, America's CEOs
have staged a corporate coup d'etat. They, not the titular owners
of the businesses, decide where and how company resources will be
deployed, what laws will be evaded in the pursuit of short-term
gain, what offshore havens profits will be stashed in to avoid
taxation, and critically, how lavishly the CEOs themselves will be
compensated. Far too much of American business is being run for the
personal enrichment and glorification of its manager-kings. This
book shows how that happened and unveils, for the first time, a new
study showing that corporations "un-owned" by their
shareholders-corporate "drones"-are far worse corporate citizens
and have significantly lower average shareholder returns than firms
in which owners still exercise authority over management.
Manager-kings, it turns out, are bad both for society and for
business itself.
