Charles Handy thought for the day on fair and ethical business practices in a competitive economy. Handy begins the thought discussing how he came across someone preparing a book for publication that would only attract a few hundred customers, but would guarantee a high return to the author due to its price point. He proceeds to talk about how the market prevents people from taking too much advantage of people's trust for a product by having regulators monitor selling and price points. Handy then reflects on the British reluctance toward business and concludes that it is really the lack of ethical soundness in some capitalists that Britons object to.
