Opinion: US Labor Strife Signals Inefficiency of Shareholder, Top Management Focus

Published: Oct 2, 2023

The enormous waste associated with these strikes highlights the profound failure of capitalism to reward the true source of value creation and the high price we pay for failure to address this obvious imbalance. ...

Over the last few months, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink tells associates he is no longer using the term ESG (environmental, social, governance) and McDonalds recently reduces mention of the term from its web site.
