Towards Quantifiable Metrics Warranting Industry-Wide Corporate Death Penalties
Abstract Excerpt:
In the singular search for profits, some corporations inadvertently kill humans. If this routinely occurs throughout an industry, it may no longer serve a net positive social purpose for society and should be eliminated. This article provides a path to an objective quantifiable metric for determining when an entire industry warrants the corporate death penalty.
