Here's a book for anyone who thinks Sarbanes-Oxley will finally force American executive compensation in line with investors' interests. Bebchuk and Fried, both law professors, show that even independent directors inevitably end up serving CEOs.

Perhaps, but that won't happen until investors get fed up and start selling in droves, as the authors would probably concede.
