In whose interests should a corporation be run? Proponents of 'stakeholder theory' propose a distinctive answer: it should be run in the interests of its primary stakeholders. Samuel Mansell offers a detailed critique of this claim, arguing that stakeholder theory undermines the principles on which a market economy is based.
