> Corporations are soulless money maximizers

This seems stated as fact. That's common. I believe it is actually a statement of blind faith. I suspect we can at least agree that it is a simplification of underlying reality.

Financial solvency is eventually a survival precondition. However, survival is necessary but not sufficient for flourishing.

Many corporations choose corporate survival over the survival of their workers and customers.

Humans shouldn't be OK with that.

So far as I can tell, most aren't. I think you're right that we get a better as well as more productive and profitable world if no humans are okay with that.
