Today in Capital Matters: Conservatives and Business

Russ Greene of Stand Together warns against self-defeating conservative approaches to business:

The precise meaning of ESG seems infinitely flexible, but its practical impact always seems prejudiced against American energy producers, manufacturers, and consumers. Whatever kind of conservative you happen to be, the way ESG is changing the role of business in American life today should concern you greatly.

Some on the right, however, have not yet settled on a practical response to the changing role of business. While they have been critical of ESG, they can’t seem to decide whether conservatives should demand a return to shareholder primacy or embrace a right-wing version of stakeholder capitalism and ESG.
