In the Newspaper This Morning, You Read About the Downfall

In the newspaper this morning, you read about the downfall of a multi-national entertainment business, and a report that the company's CEO enjoyed a 9% increase in his salary during the same year that the company's profits were down 35%. As you read further, you learn that the company's board of directors approved undeserved salary increases. Clearly, this is an example of how inequality and greed can infiltrate the free-market economic system.
