Here's something to toss on the fire. Kind of off topic, but I piqued my interest when I heard it.
Sweden (I think it's Sweden, could be wrong) is looking at passing a bill that would make all corporations have to adopt a policy of paying their CEOs no more than 12 times their lowest paid employee.
Now I think it's an awesome idea and I hope to hell they do NOT pass it. This would drive Swedish companies out of the country. BUT, it would be something a group like the UN could pass and force all member countries to participate.
