Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman found the Business for Social Responsibility [3]'s 2005 conference a sobering experience. The conference was sponsored by companies including ExxonMobil [4], Pfizer [5], Philip Morris [6], McDonald's [7] and Monsanto [8]. "The news -- what these giant multinationals don't want you to know -- is that they hijacked Business for Social Responsibility from its founders," they wrote in Corporate Crime Reporter. However, some in the conservative think tank [9] scene aren't at all enamored with the idea of corporate social responsibility [10]. The National Legal and Policy Center [11] (NLPC) and the Competitive Enterprise Institute [12] (CEI) organised a "counter conference [13]" to challenge what they described as the "leftist dominated" BSR meeting. Amongst the speakers at the counter-conference were James Glassman [14], a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute [15] and Paul Driessen [16] from the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise [17].
