This scandal isn't about price-fixing. The most basic function of a financial system is to price money. Michael Porter has suggested that shared value be the linchpin the economy is held together by. It's not about a bank. It's not even about power and privilege, corruption and compromise.

If you read what Peter Drucker had to say about competition back in the late ’50s and early ‘60s, he really only talked about one thing: competition on price. It was this received opinion Michael Porter was questioning when, in 1979, he mapped out four additional competitive forces in “ How Competitive Forces Shape Strategy.”

But if you want to win, says Michael Porter , this is absolutely the wrong way to think about competition. Customers, lacking meaningful choice, buy on price alone. Instead, Porter urges a different kind of competition: compete to be unique. Give customers real choice and price becomes only one competitive variable.

Michael Porter and Mark Kramer's article in January's HBR tries to advance our world's shared values by arguing that doing right is the best long-term business strategy. But first, let's praise Porter and Kramer. Their article puts Porter's reputational weight behind an idea that in itself has, well, shared value.

Escalating wealth driven by a bull market cannot be divorced from the atrophying of the middle class when stock repurchases and cash reserves nudge earnings per share and stock prices higher but do nothing to create employment or increase national productivity.
