Just pointing out that the C-suite is also a kind of centralized power.

Unsure why these kinds of stories always devolve into some kind of ism-vs-ism in the comment section because it almost always missed the point.

CEO pay is held up as a symptom of something. My interpretation of that symptom is that it represents a shift in capital over a period of decades. The interesting discussions are around what changed? how did that happen? is it ok? if not, what should be done?

Me? I happen to think it's not ok but like most, don't have a coherent set of suggestions about a path forward.
