You argue that EVERY CEO of EVERY company that's EVER existed has disavowed having ANY moral or civic obligation and is motivated solely and exclusively by the pursuit of profits.
I think you're dead wrong and while there may be a few companies like that (Enron and WorldCom to name just two), the shareholders don't benefit in the long run.
Making a profit obviously should be a primary goal of every corporation. The problem with your premise is that the money-driven ego-centric CEOs who are motivated SOLELY by greed are typically mercenaries who don't give a damn about the company or the shareholders and ultimately end up lining their own pockets at the expense of the company they are supposed to serve.
