Business has not Been People-Friendly

It was not set up that way - its primary objective was to be profitable, at the expense of other objectives, such as social or environmental objectives. It would not say this, in so many words - but it was clear that this was what is was doing - successfully.

It was making money, and could use that money to buy whatever it needed - approval by the government - or workers, who were desperate for its jobs.

And most importantly, the approval of almost everyone - who did dare question its objectives.

That was the way it was, in the 20th Century - a good century for Business, but not for anything else.

The 21st Century is going to be the Century of the Computer - a new technology that needs a new kind of business, it calls the Enterprise.

In that world (and it is a new world) you gotta do things right - before you can make money. And this is where much of the money (and the jobs) are going.
