Tough legal battles shaped business world

Article Abstract:

The year 1992 saw battles between the business community and stockholders, insurers and defense contractors. All parties were under attack by federal regulators. All sectors of the business community found 1992 a time of accountability as manufacturers were prosecuted for environmental wrongdoing and accounting firms were held liable for their part in the savings and loans debacle. Executive pay no longer seemed safe as the SEC asked for public comment on new proxy rules subjecting this pay to proxy proposals.

Article Abstract:

The Libertarian Party, which favors a philosophy of individual opportunity and liberty, is the US's third-largest and most rapidly growing political party. The party favors the view of the Founding Fathers that men should not hurt one another but should otherwise be free to regulate their affairs in any way they see fit, also that government does not have the power to tax. The party also thinks that property rights should be constitutionally protected.
