The (Bill) Clinton Team’s Secret Meeting on CEO Compensation

This piece seems to support the premise of the book "Listen Liberal" about who the democratic party represents.

Naked Capitalism readers are familiar with the fact that CEO compensation exploded starting in the 90s, and that this explosion was related to a shift towards companies providing compensation in the form of stock options. A major cause of the shift was Bill Clinton’s 1993 move to make executive comp deductible from corporate income taxes only when given as stock options.
