Martin Wolf sostiene in un articolo per il Financial Times (link alternativo) che stiamo ancora soffrendo i danni di una diffusa teoria economica propugnata tra gli altri anche da Milton Friedman:

What should be the goal of the business corporation? For a long time, the prevailing view in English-speaking countries and, increasingly, elsewhere was that advanced by the economist Milton Friedman in a New York Times article, “The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Its Profits”, published in September 1970. I used to believe this, too. I was wrong.
