Milton Friedman, an American economist, and statisticians developed numerous free-market methods. Friedman fought for free trade, smaller government, and a slow, steady increase in money supply in a growing economy.
In 1976 he won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences and lay down a business hypothesis.
Friedman’s theory said that companies first obligation it’s to their shareholders. Profit to the shareholders must be the priority and the best chance for expansion and success. Most executives of corporate America followed the theory.
Critics said the majority of investors focused on short-term gains. Friedman’s theory ignores the company’s employees, vendors, and even customers who have a long-term interest in the wellbeing of the organization.
