DW Forums Political Compass
 
#21
Looks like I'm in the green block too.  I'm definitely not as extreme towards that corner, as I was when I took the test 10 years ago.  But I don't feel like my underlying values have changed much, either.  It's more that on something like one-third of the questions, I want to mark a radio button labeled "It's complicated".
Quote:The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders.
Sure, seeking profits is generally good for corporations, as it looks to optimize resources and innovate to stay ahead of its competitors.  However, this shouldn't be an excuse for getting out of taxes, or creating unsafe working conditions.  Profits don't benefit all of society equally, even though we think they do because of invested retirement plans.  So more profit is good for everyone, unless it ends up cutting the jobs of the people who hold the retirement accounts -- but it's not exactly like we can rely on pensions when bankruptcy is an excuse for business/government not to pay pensions.  TL;DR Businesses have a responsibility to investors and to society as a whole and we're just debating where the line should be; can I check that box please?
Honestly, I just wanna vote for Birgitte Nyborg.
