I belive it's originally a quote of management specialist Peter Drucker. It means that you can not and should not expect individual businesses to include e.g. social or environmental considerations in their decision making BEYOND what is required by the law. You get optimal resource allocation in society by letting business optimize economically within the politically defined constraints. If you want e.g. social improvements then you should change the political constraints, not appeal to business leaders good will.
