Why wouldn’t the shareholders support following capitalism that adheres to both of Adam Smiths works?

Why wouldn’t the shareholders themselves support helping “Samaritans” and support owners who called for this (either at shareholder meetings or whatnot)?

If you want a corporation to put its full effort into a drug, have congress double the patent life. And limit liability like they do for the nuclear industry.

Have a competition like the XPize.

Your ideas are goofy.

Answer the question yourself.

Has a cancer cure been created free of charge? Hepatitis? Any of the other illnesses that have caused considerably more death than Ebola.

Why not?

Thinking that shareholders are like good samaritans will not get you very far in this life, that and I’d wager than very few big pharm stockholders would even know Adam Smith wrote more than 1 book.
