I am not arguing against reforms, but "reformism" is a difficult path.
There is a strong groundswell for reforming corporate finance, just as
there was for campaign finance reform. The final reforms are usually very
unsatisfactory, often designed to quell the immediate call for reform and
little else, unless there is an organized force demanding reforms.

There is a saying that a camel is a horse made by committee. Democracy is the committee system. My way is your way and that of a million others. Reformulation is a most difficult path because "I" - me in my individuality, have the right way and you impose your right way on my correct way. And I cannot stop you.
I used to read literature from an "anti-competition group" who had mathematical model to disprove competition amongst the human species. This was during the "New Age" period but they probably still exist. It was a bunch of professors that made a hell of a lot of sense. I hope all of them did not become stock brokers because today "their ass is out."
