    It’s very much the latter. Sociopathy in the C-suite occurs at twice to three times the prevalence in the general population.

    We are living under a system that disproportionately rewards sociopathy, and so far I haven’t seen any credible systemic solutions.

      There are many credible systemic solutions to this problem but over the past 40+ years those solutions have been watered down and killed off.

      Things like:

      • High tax rate on the wealthy and a well funded IRS to enforce those laws
      • Strong regulations and well funded departments to enforce those regulations
      • Better education for the population at large and enough funding to give all members of the country free access to it
      • Strong labor unions and an well funded FTC to help protect them
      • A strong and FAIR justice system and the funding to keep it fair

      I’m sure there are others

        None of those are solutions to the problem (assuming it even is a problem) pointed out by the comment that you replied to — sociopaths tend to be more effective at climbing hierarchies and convincing people to follow them.
