What ethical responsibilities do businesses have? Do they have any at all? How do corporations exploit the market? In this riveting episode on economics and philosophy, we delve into the world of business ethics, looking at something called corporate social responsibility. Milton Friedman gets a little crazy with his 6-page article which shocked the world, 'The social responsibility of business is to increase its profit' (1970). We try to flirt with Joseph Heath to get him to come onto our show. Check out Heath's article 'A market failure approach to business ethics' (2004). Also sorry if Alex scared you with name dropping other philosophers, you don't need to know them, they will probably be explained in coming episodes!Follow our socials!Instagram: Underground_internationalTwitter: Overground_podWebsite: https://undergroundinternational.buzzsprout.comBusiness email: [email protected] the show (https://www.patreon.com/UndergroundInternational)

What makes up the soul? What makes us human? Have we arrived at the end of history as we know it? In this episode we delve deep into the philosophy of Francis Fukuyama's 1992 book "The End of History and The Last Man", as we analyze how liberal democracy has developed, why human beings are the way we are, and whether or not predictions made 30 years ago hold true after all this time.Contrary to popular belief, we don't get all of our data from buzzfeed videos. check out our sources:Fukuyama, F.
