We have also launched a series in partnership with public radio's Marketplace, exploring everything from the history of shareholder value to Wall Street's impact on companies like Sears and IBM.

One of the recurring themes in this series is dissatisfaction with corporate America among everyday citizens.

With that in mind, we are also republishing the results of a huge survey of Americans conducted by Just Capital, a nonprofit set up by legendary hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones.

The survey, conducted between January and September 2015 and published September 23 2015, collated responses from more than 40,000 people in an effort to identify measure corporate justness.

The results: Americans of all ages, incomes, and political leanings believe corporate America is headed in the wrong direction.

They also want to buy from, invest in, and work for companies they consider to be just, and they consider employment issues to be the primary determinant of whether a company is just.

Just Capital will be coming out with new research shortly. In the meantime, here are the findings from the original survey:
