Arguably you could go back to the unsanitary meat packing plants of America's industrial revolution to find the first widely known US example of business doing things that they shouldn't to make more money. Someone with more knowledge of world history could go back farther.
My own opinion is that profits and social value have become mostly misaligned a few decades ago already.
