Understood as a problem of private vs public interest
Citing Bakan, explain how the problem you are researching can be understood as a problem of private vs public interest. Consider the 5 sources you have found–is there a public policy implication? The purpose of this assignment is to help you focus on some aspect of the problem that requires an intervention by some regulatory or legal authority, so that the “conversation” you represent in Writing Project 2: the Literature Review is one that centers on questions of public policy (rather than questions of personal preference or consumer choice). What claims of fact have you identified that reveal that shareholder interest is, as Bakan argues, directly opposed to public interest? Why is this a public policy concern? Make reference to two or more of your 5 sources.
