The Rhineland model means not only shareholders are recognized as stakeholders. This is implemented in things such as workers councils. Sure, it not perfect, and it wouldn't catch crimes such as the exhaust scandal, but it requires by law that a company not only looks after shareholders. It's a much better idea than the Anglosaxon model that has taken the world by storm, and I wish the world would look more to the Rhine countries. Germany/Switzerland/Netherlands are some of the best rated countries to live. We should have more of such policies and laws, not less.
