1. What applies to the economic responsibilities of entrepreneurs applies to those of savers and wage-earners.
The economic responsibilities of the public authorities are also social responsibilities. On the other hand, social acts are far from being all economic. Family life is not the only one to attest to this.
2. While not all social acts are economic, all economic acts are social or have a social effect.
Hiring and laying off are economic acts, as more generally are selling and buying: hiring is beginning to buy, laying off is ceasing to buy. Hiring and laying off are among the social acts that are economic, as more generally are buying, selling, and transferring money or a saleable thing. Placing savings in the financing of one enterprise rather than another is an economic choice. This choice has social effects. Remunerating contributions of permanent enterprise financing more or less generously is an economic choice. This choice also has social effects. Etc.
