I wonder some times if there is a level of complicity among shareholder groups that allows this behavior to continue ?
Look at the levels of interlocking directorates sometime. It's enough to get you thinking that maybe there's a network of rich people making decisions that ensure that other rich people stay rich and get richer. That's about as close as i come to conspiracy theory, but CEO pay doesn't seem to make business sense in the traditional way of measuring that concept.
Compare executive salaries of American corporations in general with equally large corporations in Germany and Japan. In general they don't get paid nearly as much:
