No, this cynical, evolving mindset of the "fiduciary duty" as a catch-all excuse for evil is really fucking stupid. It is not a slippery slope where the CEO will be thrown in jail, if he doesn't sponsor the overthrow of some government, because his company will sell more table napkins.
Reducing the human condition in the name of capitalism means that our implementation of capitalism is fundamentally broken. As always, I tend to attribute the modern day's gross immorality and cynicism to bible thumping baby boomers. Grrr.
