Describe the philosophy of noted economist, Milton Friedman, on the issue of "free market ethics."


Friedman held that it is wrong for managers to use corporate resources to deal with problems in society at large. Decisions regarding such social problems should be addressed by governments in the political arena and funded by tax dollars. A decision by corporate managers to aid society is, in effect, theft of stockholders' resources.
