The era of shareholder value being the sole driving force in business has been an unmitigated disaster. Until it's resolved, more of this will go on until we cannibalize our entire economy to benefit the very, very few. It's 40 years and counting already. Even allowing for the massive wealth and power of our corporate community, it can't continue forever.
