Abstract

The article focuses on the limited impact of the Business Roundtable's 2019 statement redefining the purpose of corporations, claiming to prioritize stakeholders over shareholders. Topics include the historical context of shareholder primacy, the disparity between corporate promises and actual behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the skepticism surrounding the sincerity of CEO commitments to stakeholder capitalism.
