Intriguing . . . and along the lines of Friedman

If you are a proponent or an opponent of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) issue, you will want to read this great book which is based upon a lecture series by the author. Henderson points out that the purpose of business is to drive the economic engine of society and that when NGOs and activists attempt to co-opt the corporation to other non-business purposes, society misses a key component in its development and is therefore sub-optimized.

All analysts of anti-corporate movements should read this excellent work.
