He concludes an excellent piece with:
I don’t mean to criticize anyone in particular. (I used to be the economics instructor.) In all of these cases, there really isn’t anything any one individual can do to remedy the bad practices. Making a big issue of them would lead to useless excommunication. Instead we shrug ironically. In our society, an ironic attitude is a token of sophistication (a telling word, which once meant corruption but now implies competence). An ironic attitude towards collective ethics is adaptive. It helps basically decent individuals participate in coalitions that ruthlessly contend for rents. But perhaps we’d have a better society if, rather than turning our ethical discomfort into an object of aesthetic consideration, lots of us worked straightforwardly to remedy it. And perhaps more of us would do so if the risk of losing our place were not so terrible. Ethical behavior is endogenous. “Inequality” renders it costly.
The rest (long) is spot on in my view.
Update: the first article I read this morning was about a voice vote in the Senate which included, among other things, an extension for 2 more years, a 20 year old (but recently expired) wind production tax credit.
Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused .. Any ideas? Cheers!
I blog often and I genuinely appreciate your content. This great article has really peaked my interest. I will bookmark your website and keep checking for new information about once a week. I opted in for your RSS feed as well.
One other thing is that an online business administration diploma is designed for learners to be able to efficiently proceed to bachelor’s degree programs. The Ninety credit certification meets the lower bachelor diploma requirements when you earn your associate of arts in BA online, you will get access to the modern technologies in such a field. Several reasons why students are able to get their associate degree in business is because they may be interested in this area and want to receive the general knowledge necessary previous to jumping in a bachelor diploma program. Thanks alot : ) for the tips you actually provide inside your blog.
