Misinformation, propaganda, urban legends, etc. > but it sure as hell seems like executives ought to go to jail a LOT more than they do. Based on what? Which executives are you talking about, and what crimes do you suspect them of? > Corporations do terrible things in the world and are seemingly never held to account. Again, what "terrible things" are you talking about, and what level of accountability do you see lacking in the way existing police forces, regulatory agencies, and the courts respond to their behavior? > Finally, looking to my own education, can you suggest a place to read up on this topic so I am not flatly wrong in the future? I'd start with any basic intro-level textbook on business law. Before you start, given the extent to which your previous comments indicate you're relying on how things feel or seem to you, I'd recommend considering the extent to which you are reading your own assumptions and emotional attachments into your perceptions of the outside world, and the extent to which you're relying on echo chambers and biased sources of information to validate your theories and assumptions. |
