Or did some eager yet naive associate draw the unfortunate assignment to cherry-pick a few passages from the think tank report that Lipton urges clients to read, and no one bothered to think critically about it, or maybe even read all or some of it?
Last week, Lipton circulated a memo directing clients to the Report of the Commission on Inclusive Prosperity, from the Center for American Progress. His missive, grandly titled "The Threat to the American Economy and Society from Activism and Short-Termism", lauds this "comprehensive" report of an "all-star commission" for policy recommendations "essential to the American economy and society."
We read it. We looked eagerly for the rigorous analysis and thoughtful policy recommendations on corp gov. We found a bit of that, and much more that may surprise CEOs and directors. We report on what we found in a current blog post.
