Do businesses have a social responsibility?

Milton Friedman was correct.
Why would anyone start a business other than to make money.
Where the 'social responsibility' comes in is with the customers. If the majority of customers, say, didn't want to buy battery chicken, then supermarkets would soon stop stocking it. The market would have spoken. If consumers continue to buy it then economic reality wins the argument.
It's not for the government or anyone else to tell consumers what to buy, but their free decisions will impose 'social responsibility' if that's what they want as the business will have to make 'ethical' choices to survive.
