Esej o The Future of Stakeholder Capitalism vs. Shareholder Primacy

The Paradigm Shift in Corporate Purpose

For decades, the landscape of global economics remained tethered to the doctrine of Milton Friedman, who famously posited that the social responsibility of business is to increase its profits. This philosophy, known as shareholder primacy, prioritized immediate financial returns to equity holders above all other considerations. However, the 2019 Business Roundtable statement signaled a seismic shift, as CEOs of the world’s largest corporations committed to leading for the benefit of all stakeholders. The future of stakeholder capitalism vs. shareholder primacy represents more than a rhetorical pivot; it is a fundamental restructuring of how value is created and measured in the modern age. As the global economy faces unprecedented environmental and social challenges, the traditional focus on short term equity gains is increasingly viewed as an obstacle to long term resilience.
