Last night I was walking around the neighbourhood while listening to a very interesting podcast from NPR, explaining how and when CEOs’ compensation packages exploded. You can get it here. What they discussed in a nutshell was that companies tried to match their CEOs' compensation with performance (fair enough) using stock options, but the companies didn’t realize the exact value of those offers.

The Economic Policy Institute published an article last year about how CEOs make [300 times the salary of an average worker](http://jco.im/300-times).
