United States: Everything is done to enrich the shareholder; is there a quid pro quo?

In the United States everything is done to enrich the shareholder: Income distribution at the expense of employees; “Expropriation” of lenders investing in debt ; Share buybacks; Antitrust rules; Energy policy. Is there a quid pro quo for these positive policies for the shareholder? We can think of: Additional investment and capital modernisation; Additional employment; Additional innovation and technological progress. By comparing the United States and the euro zone, we actually see in the United States significant spending on modernisation and R&D, a high employment rate, and markedly faster productivity gains than in Europe.
