http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23529-how-milton-friedman-fomented-the-barmy-corporations-exist-to-maximize-shareholder-value-myth
Yves Smith, Naked Capitalism: "Maximizing shareholder value" is an idea made up and promoted by economists, starting with Milton Friedman and his Chicago School cronies.
