In the past being honorable was important because of unwritten social rules. Today those rules have to be written down because there is no longer any consequence for exploiting people as long as you are within the letter (not the spirit) of the law.

When a businessman lies about something or does something shady, we say "he said what he had to say" or "he did what he had to do." Lawyers likewise are socially excused. And by socially excused I'm referring particularly to the neighborhoods and communities and clubs in which they live and recreate. Not everybody gives them a pass of course, but many do. I'm curious about something: were any of those bankers from the 2007/8 crisis and scandal booted out of their country clubs?
