"The problem (If you want to see it as one) is that the obligation to maximise shareholder profit will always ensure as many corners get cut as they can get away with. Lots of people even see this as the right thing to do and call it "efficiency.""
Can we please stop repeating this myth. There is no obligation to maximize profit, and even if there were, not cutting corners would be justifiable as profit exists in short and long terms. There might be a desire to maximize short-term profit, either on the management or shareholders' parts, but there is no such obligation.
