We highly recommend Against the Rules, the superb new podcast series from Michael Lewis (author of The Big Short, The Fifth Risk, Liar’s Poker, and much more) that examines the decline of “refs,” the independent arbiter formerly relied on but now losing credibility, from basketball to art to, yes CEO pay.  VEA Vice Chair Nell Minow appears briefly on an episode that begins with a possible $400 million art fraud and ends with a comp consultant who has the extreme bad judgment to try to tell Michael Lewis, the man who wrote Moneyball, about baseball.  Take a listen.
