Not every organization can or should be a business, this is dead wrong. Organizations including non-profits and social ventures need sustainability plans rather than business plans. These are largely similar but the values are different.
Some of the slippery slopes include the wanton privatization and outsourcing of government especially for things that create perverse incentives like for-profit prisons, education, and healthcare, and so-called private-public "partnerships" that usually turn out to be predatory "gotcha capitalism" monopolies that charge people for things that were previously free and paid for with taxes as commonwealth services.
OTOH, another pathology can happen in all sorts of money collecting organizations by putting profits/fees before mission, such as by making worse products or services to sell more of them, seeking maximum fines or fees unreasonably without offering value or a public service, or charging unreasonable fees for things that cost almost or nothing.
