| What would Adam Smith say? By John Schroy, on March 11th, 2010 |  2 comments  Most corporate executives of giant companies today are, in actuality, mere employees (‘workers’ in communist jargon) and are not capitalists or entrepreneurs at all. Their extraordinary remuneration schemes are provided without executives having employed or having risked any of their own capital and is often paid, even as a corporation slides into bankruptcy. Adam Smith recognized self-interest as a useful trait, but one that should not be allowed to override the nobler virtues.

Wall Street seems to have learned little from the Crash of 2008. The big law firms understand that the safe harbor provided by SEC Rule 10b-18 is still firmly in place; shareholders will continue to be defrauded by employee-directors with impunity.

Why do the liberal Super-Rich seem to act in a way that is so contrary to their selfish interests and economic well-being? Here I show how capital flow analysis of the Federal Reserve flow of funds accounts provides an answer to this apparent conundrum.
