Likewise, America’s corporate CEO’s and their near-peers earn ten times more today than they did a generation ago. This is not because a CEO’s work effort and negotiation and management skills are ten times more valuable nowadays, but because other corporate stakeholders have become less able to constrain top managers and financiers from capturing more of the value-added.
同样，美国企业的首席执行官们及其地位接近的人挣得钱比一代人以前多十倍。这并不是因为现在的首席执行官的工作努力程度、谈判以及管理技能的价值超过十倍，而是因为其他企业利益相关者更为无力约束顶级的经理和金融家获取更多的附加值。
