>> 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?

		Huh? Who's talking about that? OP argued that everything we have is because of shareholder value. That is false. No one is talking about anything being easy or redefining a market (which, since you bring it up, has been done infinite times by private and state funded companies as well)
