The ethics of a society arise from the interaction between the biological imperatives for self and species preservation and the economic system that governs how material goods are produced and distributed. Successful societies from the theocracy of ancient Egypt to modern industrial democracies succeeded because the ethical code supported the economic system so cooperative efforts could be sustained without expending a wasteful amount of effort on enforcement of rules. The ethics must fit with the economic system. The ethical code of Rome would be a disaster if held by people in the US today, but it made Rome very successful.

i think it takes about, but ultimately with out ethics, there would be no stable economy

Coming from a guy who is devoting his career to the study and application of economics, all I can say on ethics and economics is that econ is a GREAT way to maximize profits, but it’s not a good way to live your life.

yes it does
