I'm surprised we don't see much more discussion about B corps or other "ethical capitalism" type things.

The idea of earning money doing X and giving it away seems popular, and most startups claim they are "going to change the world" (presumably for the better) but you don't see as much about creating/running businesses that have a positive impact on society and/or the planet.

Do people just not believe that is even possible? Or is there too much risk of failure?
