One of my stock answers to this simplistic "capitalist absolutist" thesis is to repeat it...but from the PoV of, say, the Human Society.

Few absolutist capitalists want to hear that they, their companies, their wealth, their shareholders, etc. are mere tools - which Human Society can use in pursuit of its own responsibilities...or quietly "dispose of", if Society finds them to be more trouble than they are worth.
