"Responsible Capitalism—Balancing the Effects of Materialism on Culture, the Environment, and the Potential for Conflict" is an informal paper authored by Stanley W. Morris. Based on... More > an on-going, creative-living project, what in reality began as a personal experiment, this paper outlines what in 2006 began as a transition to an alternative life-style, called Volunteer Simplicity, could now potentially produce for a troubled, global society a very real and immediate benefit.
The author begins by posing the supposition that the demands of domestic materialism (e.g., more crude oil, more electronics, and more automobiles) increase the potential for international conflict. If the above statement can be accepted, and there appears to be enough supportive evidence to make for a good argument in that direction, then the opposite, less materialism, may be a solution, thereby reducing the incidence and/or the severity of future, armed conflicts.< Less
How can corporations contribute to social welfare?
This paper shows how corporations have unintentionally contributed immensely to social welfare since the industrial revolution as producers,... More > employers, and tax payers. This is their primary purpose in society. However, corporations can further contribute to social welfare intentionally by engaging in win-win CSR that benefits both the corporation and society.

The paper shows through the application of corporate strategy theories how corporations can draw on their present competences to find new opportunities that are of benefit to both society and the bottom line. This is exemplified by looking at cases from Tetra Pak and SAS Institute.
