The past century has seen the rise of a corporate version of hyperindividualism -- it has become universally accepted that the sole purpose of a company is to maximize profits within the boundaries of what's legal, taking all shortcuts necessary
I think we're going to see the reverse cultural shift in the next 50 years, towards corporate responsibility -- it will become self-evident that companies need to be beneficial to society, and not create negative externalities, in order to earn the right to exist
Looking forward to large companies having Chief Ethics Officers
