Any particular time? I guess the most relevant time for this question is early half of 20th century.
I think the event was first world war and some of its consequences (in many countries the monarchy was abolished so people "experimented" with new political organisatons, in Germany the war brought huge reparations which contributed to the deterioration of their economy)
and the global economic crisis of 1920
I believe the answer is <span>weighing all of the social benefits and costs of a business action.
People with moral imagination would held the ability to envision the harm and the benefit that would be created if they follow a certain course of actions.
this will help the organization to choose the decisions that would provide the most benefit for their profit and the society where they operate at the same time.</span>
