| Abstract: | Among other interesting claims made in Robert Reich's 2007 work, Supercapitalism, it is asserted in various ways that proponents of corporate social responsibility (CSR) or what the author would call 'business ethics' are engaged in relatively unproductive exercises. This article summarizes some of Reich's central theses and arguments. They are shown to be fatally flawed. It is explained why the institution of morality is essential for business, law and democracy. |
