Cuts both ways - people in general are largely motivated by profit, not just corporations and their executives. Do people prefer to buy the package of ground beef that's $9/lb or the one that's $5/lb? When faced with a choice, most people want the cheaper one, disregarding the harmful externalities that make the lower price possible. Nevermind that the more expensive one is better for their bodies and the environment. Most people and corporations are married by the same motivation: to make and save as much money as possible with no regard for the harmful effects. If profit-seeking consumers shift their motivations, profit-seeking corporations will naturally starve, and something higher than profits will prevail. But people won't change. Nobody is going to vote for the government to ban the cheaper but more harmful beef farm.
