| Abstract: | The rationality of moral behaviour and moral conviction are the focus of this study. Assumptions like "morality pays" and "good ethics is good business" are not a priori right. Whether morality as personal conviction is also economically rational or not depends in large part on the institutional setting of a society and the likelihood that immoral behaviour will be sanctioned. The systematic approach to morality thus appears to be political economy and the institutional setting: rules and laws. |
