“…Moreover, each did not support corporate collusion in circumstances where it fosters low productivity and thus (often) higher prices. 8 It is noteworthy that (in contrast to much commentary portraying the State as the natural friend of consumers), large commercial entities often lobby for government regulatory intervention, indeed their owners (in particular) frequently benefit from it (Wiebe, 1967;Schwarz, 1994). For example, some business leaders, such as General Electric chairman Gerard Swope, unabashedly push for industrial policies that simultaneously (and paradoxically) keep prices and competition low, ostensibly as a means of smoothing out peaks and troughs in the economic cycle (Kennedy, 1999).…”

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), the idea that business stewards have a broader range of societal obligations than maximizing shareholder value, is a mainstream theme in contemporary management research, education, and practice. Carroll points to one of its controversial aspects when he describes a clash between management scholars (who are generally pro-CSR) and their neoclassical economic contrarians. This has become an increasingly one-sided conflict with the pro-CSR side prevailing in both business and academia. CSR proponents have generally viewed Milton Friedman as an opponent of CSR. However, we argue that Friedman’s purported opposition to CSR is something of a caricature. We reveal that Friedman was concerned that his advocacy for free market operation would promote pro-social outcomes. Indeed, through his emphasis on creating value for consumers, being good stewards of scarce resources, and avoiding rent-seeking’s inefficiencies, Friedman has more in common with CSR proponents than is sometimes acknowledged.

“…Beginning with his new position in Johns Hopkins, Hall would become a leader in the building of the modern research university, the establishment of psychology in that university, and diverse outreach efforts to create philosophies of social practice for individuals reconstructing American institutions for education, welfare, and health. Hall was one of a new class of Americans in the late 19th century-people whose work stitched thousands of localities and "island communities" together into a national political order (Wiebe, 1967).…”

Today, when we have come to see psychology as distinct from philosophy, the appointment is generally referred to as the first professorship in psychology in the United States. Hall and Daniel Coit Gilman, president of Johns Hopkins, saw the appointment as a strategic new professorship in philosophy (O'Donnell, 1985;Wilson, 1990).Hall (1876, 1879) had examined the teaching of philosophy in 300American colleges, and he saw psychology as vital to the regeneration of that teaching. Gilman was building the first successful graduate university in America and wanted a reconstructed philosophy, but he had to be careful. Johns Hopkins had been criticized when openingday ceremonies opened and closed without prayer and Thomas Huxley, the notorious Darwinian, had been brought in to give an invited address.
