Asset stripping is evil. I think we should have more regulations against asset stripping. How would those regulations be written, though?
In my opinion, as a lay person who reads the news, asset stripping seems to be a way of "hacking the system" - doing a series of things, individually permissible by the rules, to achieve personal gain at the cost of social harm. I think, we should forbid dumping negative externalities on people. But which step is the actual wrong?
