The thesis of this article is based around the idea that the primary function of a corporation is not to create wealth for shareholders, but to involve more stakeholders. The crisis is therefore not in profitability of a corporation, which is still rather high; the crisis is in the effects of shareholder primacy on the environment, on labor, and on managers. Which is to say, unemployment is low but so are wages, inequality is high and increasing, and we’re on the verge of a mass extinction event caused by human activity - all this to maximize shareholder returns.
