capitalism became cancerous in 1919 after the Ford vs Dodge ruling, where Dodge brought Henry Ford to court because he wanted to use profits to improve worker conditions. In this court case, it became law that the fiduciary duty of corporations was to maximize shareholder value. Thus, capitalism, which does have strong rational and moral principles to it, became cancerous, with a legal requirement for non-stop growth and for serving the few (shareholders)
just like accumulating malignant mutations turns a healthy cell into cancer, this ruling is a major malignant mutation
It’s illegal for ceos to do things with intent going against maximizing shareholder value
