The authors would like to make the following corrections about the published paper [1]. The changes are as follows:

Deleting one paragraph along with three references in Section 4 “Will They Really Change Capitalism? The Collective Action Dilemma” on page 8.

The deleted parts read as follows:

It is interesting, in this context, that most of the research on Millennials has been conducted by the market institutions heavily involved in constructing neoliberal market ideologies, e.g., state agencies, transnational corporations, consulting firms, or institutions of global economic governance. The knowledge accrued from this research is used to transform employment systems, strategies for handling human resources, and market communication, so as to make them more adapted to the needs of Millennials—who will be the primary market force of tomorrow. Given this, major economic actors are responsive to Millennials’ orientations, but the members of the dominant generation are expected to be in a symbiotic relationship with the long-accepted model, not to seek a major change in it. However, generational identity is instinctively opposing the long-standing rules of the game: 76% of U.S. Millennials believe that business can be a force for social good but that only 59% of multinational corporations play that role today [74]. Furthermore, Millennial investors are twice as likely as others to invest in companies that incorporate social practices and generally see the sphere of economics as value-oriented, not value-neutral [75,76].

Deleting three references in the citation list:
