I'm arguing that building a new social contract because the current one isn't perfect is foolish and naive in the extreme. The author kinda touches on it later in the article, but the only reason we have these contracts and they were deemed enforceable is because we wanted to avoid a breakdown where executives would steal all their company's secrets and then go to a competitor. Slightly amended regulation is necessary, not some sorta social uprising.

> Slightly amended regulation is necessary, not some sorta social uprising. And here I'd just broken out my leather chaps. In that case I totally agree with you. What was once a tool for a company to protect itself against someone with leverage is now a method to discourage and oppress those at a disadvantage.
