If anybody ever wanted to improve secondary market capitalism, the most obvious thing to do would be to ban the company from being able to wield proxy

In many companies, the shares the board members hold are "special" because of the share structure. Some shares a company issues are non-voting, the public ones that have voting privileges are "one share, one vote", then there's the "exec" shares which have many votes per share. Seem that 10 votes per exec share seem common.
