Is there a logic that contradicts the market? Can (should) a capitalist enterprise ignore other societal goals? Emphasizing the normative interpretation of these claims, we provide a Spanish translation of Milton Friedman's article published in 1970. This item is located in relation to literature, emphasizing that economists are more inclined to Friedman's position; on the contrary, those who do not display the role of decentralized operation of markets, emphasize additional functions. According to the economists' view the latter approach can distort the role of a company in an economic system.
