discuss Has Free Market Capitalism Undermined Western Morality?

[Apsara]

Economic freedom is a core Western value, but some argue capitalism prioritizes profit over ethics. Has consumer culture weakened moral responsibility? Should businesses be held to higher ethical standards, or is it up to individuals to make moral choices?

Free market capitalization prioritizes profit over ethics which is a big concern. There is something we can do as individuals to salvage this situation. It is simply by supporting companies that employ ethical standards and also promoting them more than those who believe in the concept of “me first”.

Well, that's kind of a no-brainer. Take the pharmaceutical and food industry, for instance. It's all about profit and who cares who it hurts.
