David Fuller's view How sad, and also misguided because in addition to their social importance, high ethical standards make good business sense.

Starting with the Golden Rule, ethics should be introduced at home and at an early age, although we know that will not always happen.

I would like to see ethics become a required subject during higher education, and not least on MBA courses and at law schools.
