This sort of thinking is what gets us into this mess
You can't expect businesses to act morally. You must design policy with the incentives in mind which allow you to model how they will behave. "If they don't exploit us because morals, this policy is good" is bad policy
- AbrahamParangi 7y agoYou can indeed expect it, and then must incent that expectation by punishing violation of norms. Morality IS an incentive system, an old one.
- hliyan 7y agoA business is not a special construct. It consists of human beings and is part of the fabric of society. The more human beings have to be 'incentivized' to do the right thing (rather than voluntarily), the less civilized a society is. We cannot construct a society based on policies meant for sociopaths.
