    Marketplace Weekend for Friday, June 17, 2016

    On this weekend’s show, we look at the history of shareholder value, the idea that companies must put profits and stockholders before employees, customers and anything else. Listeners weigh in on their tips for living frugally with kids, and Marketplace’s Stephen Beard looks at the ramifications of England potentially leaving the European Union.
