Quote:
In January 2022, billionaire hedge fund manager and investor Paul Tudor Jones attributed the opioid epidemic in the United States as a product of the Friedman doctrine. Notably, the theory of corporations having the only objective of profit maximization (without any consideration of other stakeholders), led Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family to engage in unethical corporate practices of increasing revenue, by abetting doctors to dispense prescription opioids, without any legitimate medical purpose. The opioid epidemic resulted in at least 400,000 adult deaths by prescription drug overdose within the United States, most of which would have been part of the workforce within the economy of the United States.
The Friedman doctrine is the idea that a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders.
It seems like an ideology that leads to a lot of short-sighted and parasitic decisions that will both doom the business in the long run as well as inflict harm upon the society that allows that business entity to exist until that business finally collapses.
