Somehow it's controversial to argue that corporations should have responsibilities other than to their shareholders. You don't have to take many steps back from our present-day paradigm to see that as awfully weird. Personally, I'd have thought the controversial view would be that corporations shouldn't need to balance shareholders' interests against, say, employees' and public's. That seems like the ideological dogma to me: this idea that if you place one set of interests above all others, magic will happen.

Logical error: "place one set of interests above all others" is not the same as does not have "responsibilities other than to their shareholders".
