The Securities and Exchange Commission (S.E.C.) has made it mandatory for most public companies to reveal the ratio of their CEO’s salary to that of the average employee. Some of the salary gaps are staggering. Supporters like that this rule will contribute insight into the income inequality debate and force companies to compare their ratios with that of their competitors. Opponents point out that the rule is misleading in its intentions and will shame CEOs about how much they make.
So, do you approve of the S.E.C.’s ruling?
