Slick brochures & seductive claims
Article Abstract:
The two decades since the 1970s have seen progress in corporate recognition of the need for social responsibility. However, once corporations become aware of the public relations value of social responsibility claims, the public must not be seduced by claims to this effect which have more style than substance. The Council on Economic Priorities has been a center of corporate social responsibility research throughout this period.

Public sector on the wane
Article Abstract:
Socially responsible investing has evolved into an industry including mutual funds, loan funds and portfolio management for various kinds of investors and a powerful enough movement that it may yet supplant the public sector as an engine of social change. An attempt is being made to decentralize economic power so that socially responsible businesses will obtain the same access to capital as giant conglomerates.
