摘要
This chapter provides an economic rationale for the observed fact that many multinational corporations adopt the same ethical standards in host countries as they adhere to in home countries. But are these standards really ethical? Using the notion of market morality, the authors argue that certain moral norms will tend to be adopted due to the competitive forces generated by private and public individuals participating in national and global markets. The chapter concludes by considering various objections to the analysis and by providing some qualifications.
