Stout and I approach the considerations of corporate behavior from different angles (Stout on shareholder value, I on profit maximization), but the conclusions arrive at the same point.

In 1951 John Kenneth Galbraith wrote Milton Friedman to thank him for giving a lecture at #Harvard #economics department. This very short letter is not only a typical example for #Galbraith’s eloquence and sardonic phrasing, but underlines his ability to combine conceptual open-mindedness with a sincere standpoint of his own.
