Exactly one year ago, it was still unclear whether Europeans would be able to come together to support Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. But, following the latest announcements of stepped-up military aid, there can no longer be any doubt about Europe's willingness to furnish what Ukraine needs to win.

剑桥—五十年前,米尔顿·弗里德曼(Milton Friedman) 在《纽约时报》上发表了一篇文章,阐述了一个观点:“企业的社会责任是增加利润。” 这就是后来人们知晓的弗里德曼学说。他于1962年在出版的著书《资本主义与自由》中提出了这一主题。他在书中指出,企业对社会的“唯一”责任是在法律规则内追求利润。
弗里德曼学说在我们的时代留下了印记。它让自由资本主义合法化,而这种资本主义造就了经济不安全感,加剧了不平等、地区分歧、气候变化和其他环境问题。最终,这也导致了来自社会和政治层面的强烈抵制。对此,许多大企业以发起企业社会责任回应,尽管有些也只是嘴上说说。
今年的另一个周年纪念也反映了企业社会责任的想法。20年前发起的联合国全球契约直接回击了弗里德曼学说,试图说服企业为更广泛社会利益效劳。156个国家运营的11,000多家公司已签署了协议,并在人权、劳工和环境标准以及反腐败领域做出了承诺。
