 Excellent article, Roger. And a great idea. Europeans have a much more
evolved sense of the business of business. Example: regs in Scandinavian
countries limiting CEO¹s salaries to +/- 20 times the lowest paid workers.
And most are satisfied with their $3 or 4 hundred thousand dollar salaries.
Imagine floating that on Wall St.
