Evidence for the Value of Ethics

Abstract

It has become a truism that ethics is now being treated with the importance that it so obviously deserves. One of the singular merits of ethics is the commercial benefit that it confers. It has been argued in various forums that ethics is beneficial: it is the purpose of this paper to examine the forms that the evidence has taken, and to draw a conclusion about that evidence. It will be argued that the evidence supports the conclusion, but not in the most obvious ways.
