What's your Bottom Line?

On Thursday, May 18, AFF hosted the roundtable, "Whatââ?¬â?¢s your Bottom Line: A Debate on Corporate Social Responsibility.ââ?¬Â Is corporate social responsibilityââ?¬â?or CSR for shortââ?¬â?a new way of thinking about ââ?¬Å?doing well by doing good?ââ?¬Â Or, is CSR simply privatizing socialism by demanding corporations do something more what they should be doing: maximizing profits for investors?

Moderator Sean Higgins of Investors Business Daily, and panelists Steve Milloy, Free Enterprise Action Fund, Katherine Mangu-Ward, New York Times, Ivan Osorio, Competitive Enterprise Institute, and John Friedman, Washington DC Sustainable Business Network, debated whether thereââ?¬â?¢s a ââ?¬Å?business caseââ?¬Â to be made for corporations pursing social good.
