Article Abstract:

A political model of the SEC rules of governance shows that the regulation of shareholders is an unnecessary and troublesome side-effect of other bodies of law, including antitrust, banking, bankruptcy, corporate, tax and environmental law. SEC attempts to alter proxy rules cannot be effective without realising the effects these other bodies of law have on shareholder passivity. Two proposed sets of rules changes recommended by the academic community that are intended to allow more shareholder involvement are included, and discussed in detail.
