>> everything you have in your life is thanks to the economy and "shareholder value".

No it's not, shareholder value as understood as owning a piece of a publicly traded company doesn't produce anything on its own and it's definitely independent of the economy of a society. Could even be argued that the wealth stuck in the shareholder value is reducing the investments that could be being made in the interest of the rest of the economy.

I can easily make something and sell it to you without creating shareholder value.

So why haven’t you created a private company that redefines a market segment if it is so easy?
