But , as the current " shareholder spring " attests , principals have been bad at monitoring their agents .
然而，正如最近发生的“股东之春”运动证明，委托人对管理者监管不力。

股东（委托人）如何能够确保管理者（代理人）不只是关心他们自己的利益？

代理人（即经理人们）在为他们自己构筑巢穴而不是为他们的委托人（股东）的利益服务。
Mr jensen argues that their biggest drawback is what economists call the principal-agent problem : the split between the people who own the company ( principals ) and those who run it ( agents ) .
