Categories:

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century economist and statistician Milton Friedman's essay, originally published in the New York Times, "The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits" It focuses specifically on discussion of how social responsibility in business matters amounts, in his view, to a tax, which he thinks ought to be treated as a political matter.
