will...i don't think so because the boundary conditions that shape how capitalist firms operate are set politically. they reflect/repeat ideological situations, the results of mobilizations and collapse of other mobilizations (for example the implosion of the trade union movement which coinicides with the rise of neoliberalism in a kind of vast repetition of the thatcherite model....for the neo-liberal types, particularly of a more herberthoover stripe, unions were bad bad bad...you know the drill), the correlates of these movements both inside and outside the boundaries (such as they are) of the state and so on.

"ethics" tends to be little more than a way of trying to act as though political situations are other than that.

economics---well, what's the point? the op tries to talk about the social conditions which enable or prevent differing degrees of exploitation, which is of course the thing capitalism produces more systematically. except on tv of course. but that's another story. economics is a subset of such conditions, a kind of ideological machine that uses the language of numbers to "ground" assumptions/models that are typically pretty arbitrary.

(well, you know...not *all* economists do this. but this is amurica dammit and we like metaphysics.)

such are my caffientated thinkings.
