  14-10-2019 22:36 via ocregister.com
  
  By Bruce DeBoskey
  Nearly 50 years ago, Milton Friedman launched the era of “shareholder capitalism.” At that time, the Nobel-Prize-winning economist admonished American business leaders that their only responsibility was to maximize profits. The world has changed a lot since then — for better and for worse. Some still espouse this theory.

  The banners on the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion say Los Angeles Opera. But the company’s current production of Adam Guettel’s “The Light in the Piazza” is a Broadway musical through and through.
