Assignment:
View the video The Untouchables: Are Wall Street Leaders Too Big to Jail? As we learned when we viewed The Corporation earlier this term, corporations are required by law to place the financial interest of their stakeholders even ahead of the public good. But utilitarianism would say that corporations, as a legal person, should consider all shareholders and not just stakeholders. In the Untouchables, did these corporations act on behalf of their shareholders? Or did individuals act on behalf of themselves? Is there evidence that individuals or organizations were concerned about stakeholders other than themselves or their shareholders?
