Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Global Investors Large corporations dominate our world. More than any other factor it is corporations that decide who is rich and who is poor, what kind of education we enjoy, the quality of our environment and the use of force in international affairs. Corporate energy is perceived as the single most effective tool for creating wealth and solving society's problems. But there is a price, and a new and potentially destructive element has emerged which fundamentally changes and increases the danger that big business represents. Through control over their boards of directors, their compensation committees, 'independent' consultants, the accounting authorities and even governments, CEOs have acquired the capacity to pay themselves as much as they wish. Is there now any effective limit to the power of corporate management? As the world's most prominent and notorious shareholder activist, Robert Monks has relentlessly stalked ineffective management, waking it, shaking it and replacing it. The New Global Investors is his most powerful call yet for a more accountable corporate world.
