1. This book is great and excellent, because it makes us to consider fundamentally
how we should maintain the harmony between Ethics and Economy.
2. The following facts described in this book as examples are beyond our human moral limits, judging from the ethical point of view.
１） The services of an Indian surrogate mother to carry a pregnancy: USD 6,250.00
２） The right to shoot an endangered black rhino: USD 150,000.00
３） The cell phone number of your doctor: USD 1,500.00 and up per year
４） Admission of your child to a prestigious university
５） Buy the life insurance policy of an ailing or elderly person, pay the annual
premiums while the person is alive, and then collect the death benefit when
he or she dies: potentially, millions(depending on the policy)
3. The theory of “economic approach to life” where all the behaviors of the human beings can be analyzed and interpreted by economics on the premise of the market-economy or the market society ,accepts and supports the above mentioned facts, even if unintentionally.
4. The author’s posture against them is right and understandable. Because, the old saying “Economy without Ethics is a vice, and Ethics without Economy is a dream”
which was made through the long history and the various experiences of the human beings, is to the point. Furthermore, based on this, we can also say “The management and the conduct without Ethics is a vice and Ethics without the management and the conduct is a dream.”
5. Mr. Eiichi Shibusawa, the father of the modern Japanese economy, sought to maintain the harmony between Ethics and Economy, as a way of fostering business
and paving the way for national prosperity. According to his biography and his books, in case of facing the difficulty to maintain the harmony between Ethics and Economy, what he did at that time seems to put the priority on Ethics, based on “The Analects of Confucius” and the theory of “Ethics the first, Profit the second”,.
6. The money(=currency),through which the profit is recognized, is an invention(=a kind of tool) made by our ancestors with wisdom in order to overcome the inconvenience to barter one thing for another, long time ago. Therefore, Ethics is more important than Profit. So, “Ethics the first, Profit the second” theory is understandable, also from this point of view.
7. The sub-prime loan, and the CDS(=Credit Default Swap) problems which gave a severe earthquake to the international financial markets ,have the similar elements of the above mentioned facts.
8. Particularly, CDS(=Credit Default Swap) which was developed for the purpose of transferring the credit risk in a simple and convenient way in the markets, has another function as a life insurance of the said company or other legal-entities. Some buyer of the protection of CDS, may welcome the bankruptcy of the said insured entity, and may not hesitate to cut off the circulative flow of the social credit worthiness, seeking for their own profits. Therefore, regarding the CDS, the following three points should be strictly reviewed and examined.
1) The object entity whose CDS is transacted in the market
2) Its written acceptance on CDS
3) The qualification of the participants to CDS markets
9. There is a saying, “A man who has a long-range view becomes rich, and a man
who has a near-sighted tendency becomes poor.” Recently, people have been inclined to lead a near-sighted life, to lose the initiative against the money(=currency) which our ancestors made as a tool, and are losing their Ethics ,little by little. We should re-construct Ethics, getting away from Money-aholic, taking back the initiative, and remaking the human relations with the family, the friends, and the community,
one by one, in patience.
