We decide what businesses are. The "of course businesses need to be ruthless sociopathic monsters that care only about profit for investors, even at the expense of their employees and customers" is a choice that society made. IMO, an ethical system would have employers really consider themselves obliged to their employees. At the very least, if we want to go in this direction then we need to retire the term "job creator" from our lexicon permanently. Employers can't get credit for being oh so generous in granting jobs when the response to cutting jobs is "well what did you expect, your employer hates you."
