Therefore, 'to say that the corporate executive has a "social responsibility" in his capacity as businessman' is to say that 'he is to act in some way that is not in the interest of his employers'. Because if an executive makes 'social' expenditures he is: spending someone else's money...Insofar as his actions in accord with his 'social responsibility' reduce returns to stockholder, he is spending their money. Insofar as his actions raise the price to customers, he is spending the customers' money. Insofar as his actions lower the wages of some employees, he is spending their money.
