Therein lies the rub, Jay.

We've been bombarded with "the laws of business" so much that they are accepted as axiomatic.
We accept that business has no morals. Why?
We accept that all that matters is the bottom line. Why?
We all know that business makes stupid moves in order to make sure THIS quarter's share value look good. Why?
We all know that business spends billions lobbying to keep laws attractive for off-shoring. Why?

Business has gone wild, and it has bought off influential government officials to keep it that way. Both here and in the destination countries (China is the textbook for it).
And business has used its biggest assets - media and marketing - to do all this.

All through this they are ensuring that people are deep in debt so that they remain muted while their wages and benefits are cut and their hours extended. And they are also milking tax monies before making the inevitable move to China (or interimly elsewhere).
All this work plus the fear of losing our job keeps us far too busy/worried to be able to get together and try to do something about it.

The MBAs rule the day and they've gone way way beyond "moral" but they've got us all convinced that that's a perfectly normal stance for business. It is not, but you'd be hrd pressed to find more than a handful of people who agree.
