The effects of the dominant conception of the enterprise resonate incessantly. However, the objective reasons for the existence of this body and its other main specificities have so far too often been ignored. A few observations establish that this repression is neither desirable nor fatal:
The enterprise is the only entity that exists only for the practice of economic exchanges.
Enterprises are not inevitably enslaved to a maximum to the advantage of their owners or managers. Maximum profit and maximum surplus value are not part of the standards that the market economy obliges enterprises to respect. The goal of maximum profit is useless and dangerous, to consider it imperative is illiberal, the alternative of maximum surplus value is even more questionable. The "social refoundation" without a refoundation of the doctrine of profit comes up against an impossibility.
Entrepreneurs have economic responsibilities that are all social.
