You're too young to remember the days before this shareholder optimization stuff that Harvard Business School put out in the eighties, right? A company used to be described as the community, the employees, the company and the shareholders, all of equal value. With the shareholder value stuff, a lot of the other stuff has gone by the wayside.
Paul Newman's company, the one that makes the salad dressing—do you know it?—employs people, makes a profit and makes a good product. There are no shareholders. It all goes to the Paul Newman foundation. He's given away $560 million to the world. In that, you have the community impact of the company, and it makes a profit. It's just that the excess goes to the public good, akin to the new pharmaceutical businesses, where the excess would go to the affordability of the pricing.
It's completely achievable. It changes the way in which you value the company, and I think that's not a bad thing.
