Innehållsförteckning

unit 1: capitalism and the corporation

issue: is increasing profits the only social responsibility of business?
 
yes: milton friedman, from The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits, the new york times magazine (1970) 
no: joseph hart, from The New Capitalists, utne reader (2006)

Milton Friedman argues that businesses have neither the right nor the ability to make social responsibility a priority. Profit making must be the priority. Businesses serve employees and customers best when they do their work with maximum efficiency. The only restrictions on the pursuit of profit that Friedman accepts are the requirements of law and the "rule of the game" ("open and free competition without deception or fraud").

Hasler believe that strengthening the role of ethical and reputational capital has been given the short shrift within corporations. It may be that one day ethics audits and ethics codes could be essential in building capital. However, they state that until management understands that poor ethics make for poor profits, business practices will continue to ignore the place of an ethics core within their organization.

issue: have the antitrust laws outlived their effectiveness vis--vis technology?

yes: craig timberg, from FTC: Google Did Not Break Antitrust Law with Search Practices, the washington post (2013) 
no: marvin ammori, from The Case for Net Neutrality, foreign affairs (2014)

Craig Timberg claims that "The murky standards for establishing consumer harm" have gotten in the way of more serious charges of business practices that hurt compet...
