New Economy
Milton Friedman was wrong.
“Corporations do have a responsibility to society beyond maximizing profit, which can best be met through adopting the following four strategies:
1. Innovation: Develop new and improved products and services that maximize societal value and minimize environmental impacts.
2. Business strategy: Develop strategies through holistic assessment of impact, not only on business outcomes but on contribution to the common good in space and time.
3. Choice influencing: Use marketing and awareness campaigns to promote sustainable products, consumer behavior and social justice.
4. Private-public collaboration: Invest in social and human capital (including through multisector solutions) for long-term economic development and social justice.”
