Seaver, I agree. Reform of corporate governance - exactly the set of rules that would allow shareholders of a company to prevent individual employees of the company from profiting as individuals at the expense of the enterprise - is a good response here. This could in theory be accomplished entirely in and by the private sector - though in reality, I don't know. I don't think that the rules currently in place at most corporations make it feasible to claw back pensions and parachutes from these individuals, though.
