ABSTRACT
A company has to be sensitive to the context in which it operates, just as a psychopath does. In your own self-interest you have to serve the interests of those around you to some degree, otherwise they will either lock you up, or turn away from you and have nothing to do with you. The so-called social responsibility that we hear about is a bit of an oxymoron, because legally a corporation cannot really have a responsibility to society, unless it can justify the presence of such a responsibility as somehow ultimately serving its own interests in creating wealth. The fundamental difficulty with social responsibility remains the fact that we have not changed the nature of the corporation. It is, and continues to be, pathologically constituted, in the sense that it still must put its own interests above all others. We have companies operating all around the world that people support; at the very least, we buy their products.
