As my economics teacher repeated probably 20 times in one semester: the purpose of a corporation is to increase shareholder's wealth

Your economics teacher was wrong.

The purpose of a corporation is to fulfill their chosen corporate mission. Corporations are no more bound to choose financial accumulation _above all else_ than are any of the people that form those corporations.

Cooperatives and public interest companies are corporations, for example.
