Creating Shareholder Value
The things that are done in the name of the shareholder are as terrifying as the things that are done in the name of God. Montesquieu said, "There have never been so many civil wars as in the Kingdom of God." And I begin to feel that is true. The shareholder is the excuse for everything. And, to me -- I am not suggesting we make some sudden lurch into socialism, that is not the case at all, -- I think it has more to do with the exercise of individual conscience.
