You can replace

foldr max 0

with simply

foldr1 max

or even

maximum

If it's important that the function return 0 when given an empty list, then you don't want to use foldr1 or maximum.  But, if you don't need it to, then it may be sounder to have it fail on an empty list, because it's not particularly well-defined what it should return then.
