William Butler Yeats wrote famously that “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold…” Accordingly, opinion writers, left and right, have been writing about the center holding or not. What center? Mostly it’s been folding, not holding.

Shareholder value has nothing to do with human values, it's got nothing to do with decency, it's got nothing to do with anything but greed.
