What the study found

The article reviews Lenore Palladino’s book, "Good Company: Economic Policy after Shareholder Primacy." The abstract of the book says it explores how ending shareholder primacy and reorienting corporate decision-making toward productivity would work in practice.

Why the authors say this matters

The abstract says the book focuses on how board members, employees, managers, shareholders, customers, and the broader public would understand their rights and responsibilities if they were operating together in pursuit of economic innovation. The study suggests this is relevant to economic policy after shareholder primacy.
