Ethinomics/Ethonomics
Once, during a seminar in Brazil I was questioned about ethics just because I said I didn’t want to (of course, anyone like myself would consider that a provocation for reaction…). Then, I said, I’m not a philosopher, but I won’t talk about it just because ethics and values are subjective so then not discussable.
Nowadays, trying to summarise my values and having read something about corporate responsibility I can say I’d have so a better anwser, based on ethinomics could be. I won’t discuss about my ethical views because they are probably so business-orientedly-distorted that everyone would consider them irrational. And I say: NO!, THEY AIN’T IT!. Why?: because of my value system, my moral code, and my view of making business. However, don’t get me wrong, I’m no angel (but no devil…).
Please, be aware sometimes ethinomics will be missunderstood with pridenomics (i.e. not accepting grants when you conceive others could benefit from them better, rejecting deals that would harm your honour, etc.).
