I'm honestly not sure how I feel about the expectation that employees and corporations act with some (or any) kind of morality beyond "make money legally".

Philosophically I would rather laws and social norms are enforced by law and not corporations or individuals with disproportionate influence.



Are they not citizens? Surely a person has a duty above personal wealth. Past generations certainly thought that way.


I’m not sure about you but my personal identify is not wholly made up of my employment.

My comment is clearly about the danger of imposing morality through corporate influence.

I did not say that a person’s entire responsibility is to enrich themselves. I said that is the responsibility of an employee. People can and do have complex and sometimes conflicting interests and responsibilities.
