These days, companies are expected to embody values and to contribute to the grand project of a better society. Paralysed by the fear of doing things wrong, intimidated by the injunctions of woke culture, prey to the contradictions of consumers who expect ‘guidance’ from them, companies are caught up in a moral conception of business.
