It\\u2019s September 14th. This day in 1970, economist Milton Friedman pens an op-ed in The New York Times making the case that a corporation\\u2019s primary goal is to increase shareholder value and profits.

\\n\\n

Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Noel King of \\u201cToday, Explained\\u201d to discuss how Friedman\\u2019s \\u201cshareholder theory\\u201d pushed back against existing ideas of corporate responsibility, and signaled a new vision for capitalism \\u2014 and how the last forty years have reflected those values.

\\n\\n

Noel is the host of a new series running in the \\u201cToday, Explained\\u201d feed called BLAME CAPITALISM. Check out the first episode now!
