Quotation from: Milton Friedman
It's hard to know what is meant by business ethics. Only people, not businesses, have ethics. Ethics is me, the individual, as a person. I'm ethical or unethical. If I'm employed in a business that I think is unethical, I have a clear choice. I can get out of that business and find something else to do. It doesn't seem to me it's ethical for me to do unethical things because the business can let me do it.
