Social responsibility means that businesses, in addition to maximizing shareholder value, must act in a manner that benefits society.

Laissez-Faire
What Is Laissez-Faire?
Laissez-faire is an economic theory from the 18th century that opposed any government intervention in business affairs. The driving principle behind laissez-faire, a French term that translates as "leave alone" (literally, "let you do"), is that the less the government is involved in the economy, the better off business will be - and by extension, society as a whole. Laissez-faire economics are a key part of free market capitalism.
