Answer 1

Answer:

Milton Friedman argues that a business's only social responsibility is to maximize profits within the rules of the game.

Explanation:

Milton Friedman is known to hold an opposing view when compared to that of John Keynes about economic theory.

Whereas Milton Friedman believes that the utmost responsibility of any company is to the shareholders, the Keynesian are more consumer focused.

Milton Friedman believes strongly in free capitalism and as a result does not advocate for any company offering corporate social responsibility to the society or public.
