Milton Friedman, a leading proponent of the profit-oriented approach to corporate management, famously declared that “the business of business is business.” Indeed, from this standpoint, there is no contradiction between profit maximization and the common good.
米尔顿•弗里德曼(Milton Friedman)——盈利导向型企业管理方法的主要倡导者，有一个著名观点：“企业该做的经营就是经营好企业自身（the business of business is business）”。事实上，从这个角度来看，利润最大化和公共利益之间并不存在矛盾。追求利润本身就是一个对社会有益的目标。
