Description for Democratizing Pension Funds: Corporate Governance and Accountability
Hardback. Pension funds own significant shares of the world's largest corporations. However, the beneficiaries of pensions often have little or no say in corporate governance. This book speaks to this imbalance by exploring different ways to make capital accountable to labour, offering suggestions for improving corporate responsibility. Num Pages: 288 pages. BIC Classification: 1KBC; LNPP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 5969 x 4039. Weight in Grams: 499.
This book will spark a debate concerning the need for democracy and accountability in the governance of trillions of dollars of plan members’ pension plan assets and the legitimacy of the present, mostly unaccountable, corporate governance decisions made by these plans. The author analyzes the reasons for this passivity, pointing to conflicts of interest with respect to corporate governance activity in pension plans and also to limitations in corporate, securities, and pension law. He argues that plan members should be given a voice in pension plan governance and the plans made accountable, and he outlines the legal reforms necessary.
