Underpinning this explosion in mergers and acquisitions -- including hostile takeovers -- are four questions that radically disrupted corporate ownership in the 1970s, whose force remains undiminished: Are shareholders the sole 'owners' of corporations and the legitimate source of power Should control be exercised by autonomous CEOs or is their assumption of power illegitimate and inefficient Is the primary purpose of the corporation to generate jobs and create prosperity for the masses and the nation Or is it simply to maximize the wealth of shareholders This battle of ideas became the 'bloodsport' of American business. It set in motion the deal-making culture that led to the financialization of the economy and it is the backstory to ongoing debates over competitiveness, job losses, inequality, stratospheric executive pay, and who 'owns' America's corporations.…
