You must distinguish sharply between being pro free enterprise and being pro business.

The Social Responsibility Of Business Is to Increase Its Profits.

There is one and only one social responsibility of business—to use it resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud.

The business of business is business.
