In the last few decades, and especially from the late 1970s with the rise of Thatcherism and Reaganism, the business world has been under the spell of neo-liberalism, obsessed with economic reform, growth, an ever-expanding free-market liberalism, structural adjustment policies, privatisation, deregulation, profit maximisation, cost minimisation and the highest bonuses for short-termism, amongst others.
These have led to the business community to believe-by and large- that there is competition between being efficient and profitable, and being for the common good.
