@mcc In theory, laws and regulators are supposed to be the 'civilized' answer to this problem, but... well that's not really happening lately, so, we're kinda back to the traditional options being the only ones left.

@mcc That's why @pluralistic says voting with your wallet is not very effective. We gotta organize.
@ygor @mcc Yes. There are three spheres of morality in the economy: consumer ethics, government regulations, and corporate ethics.
As @pluralistic already wrote, as a consumer, you only get so far. You depend on a government that tries to establish rules for a fair economy and on companies that not only adhere to these rules but also want to act ethically themselves and push for corresponding regulations.
But we are not just consumers-we are citizens and workers. As citizens, we can influence politics, and as workers, we can influence our employers. Money is a great organizer-that's why companies can do this. We call it lobbying. We need to organize our own lobby-without a lot of money.

Wo befindet sich die Ethik in der Wirtschaft? Bei den Konsumenten oder sind die egoistisch? Bei den Unternehmen oder sollten die nur Geld verdienen? Beim
