Equity Vigilantes: Holding Governments Accountable

In today’s world, where governments seem to have a never-ending appetite for spending, it’s crucial for investors to stay informed and vigilant. Economist William Niskanen’s theory of budget-maximizing bureaucracy from 1968 still holds true today – bureaucracies don’t shrink themselves, they only aim to grow bigger.

From the UK to the US, and even in Germany, the trend of increasing government debt is alarming. Politicians on both the left and right have lost control of spending, with populism on the rise and promises of more spending abound. It’s clear that someone needs to hold these governments accountable for their actions.

Enter the bond markets, the last line of defense against wayward governments. Bond vigilantes play a crucial role in scrutinizing government actions and keeping them in check. But why stop at bonds? Why not add some hardcore equity vigilantism into the mix?

Equity investors have the power to influence government actions in significant ways. With an asset class almost as large as bonds, it’s surprising how little attention equity investors have paid to state profligacy. By leveraging their collective power, equity investors can make a real impact on government decisions.

Companies are made up of shareholders, employees, customers, and suppliers – all of whom have a stake in the company’s success. By colluding and working together, these groups can exert enormous pressure on governments. Politicians are often sensitive to stock market levels, and the threat of a negative wealth effect can force them to take action.

Equity vigilantes can target specific issues, such as poor infrastructure or high levels of youth unemployment, by strategically investing or divesting in companies. By threatening to move operations overseas or reduce investments, companies can push governments to make necessary changes.

Employees, customers, and suppliers also have a role to play in holding governments accountable. By leveraging their collective power and influence, they can push for policy changes that benefit everyone. In a world where tax and spend policies seem out of control, it’s crucial for equity vigilantes to mobilize and demand accountability.

In conclusion, governments may not listen to just one voice, but they will surely take notice when faced with a united front of equity vigilantes. By working together with bond markets and other stakeholders, equity investors can play a crucial role in ensuring fiscal responsibility and economic stability.
