Are Executives Paid Too Much?
For several decades there as has been an on again off again debate about whether executives in U.S. corporations are paid too much. Recently, the issue has come front and center as a result of the high bonus pay outs to executives in some major financial institutions. There have been congressional hearings, numerous newspaper and magazine articles criticizing the compensation of senior U.S. executives and an increasing level of shareholder "outrage."
