>but there is also room for improvement at the margin, if employees and customers understand that corporate actions are management’s choice; their hands are not tied.
But will they change? Zuckerberg, as far as I can tell, started Facebook because he wanted to be master of the (internet) universe. And then he hired a lot of really smart people with the same motives.
Are you hoping that at some point in time he is going to have a great moral conversion and decide to forego power and wealth and become a sort of saint who will give it all away? Seems to me far more likely Zuckerberg will pretend to reform, but keep pursuing the same goals.
What you are saying seems to be that we should not push decentralization and instead just wait around for something good to happen. Which in turn makes me wonder about your motivations.
