I strongly disagree that "businesses should primarily focus on making money." They should focus on solving problems or making great products. The money follows. There's a word for "primarily focusing on making money": greed. I don't think we want more greedy companies around...

I strong agree about the greed, but would like to add one more entry to what their primary focus should be on: the customer.

  In what order should a company consider customers, employees, and shareholders?
  - jordyhoyt 18y ago
    that order sounds pretty good to me. also, "employees" ought to be a subset of "shareholders", simplifying the prioritization a bit.

You haven't provided any justification for why focusing on making money is greedy. I would, however content that a company which is focusing on something other than making money for its shareholders is dishonest, as that is what is expected of a for-profit business.
