    No capitalist enterprise will ever put benefits to society ahead of profits. It literally cannot.

      My question is what happens when the common denominator says that by not looking out for society they are ruining their profits. Common denominator being complete economic ecological outcome combined

          @benlockwood It can if it agrees so with its shareholders. There are whole classes of companies that do this.

              @benlockwood What are (eg) B-Corps, or (UK) Community Interest Companies which are legal entities that specifically exist to do what you say is impossible? And you can write societal benefit causes into a normal company's M&A. I have direct experience with two of these.
