Abstract

Conscience explains why most business men and women keep their word and deal fairly with one another. There is no evidence that honesty pays, despite efforts to argue otherwise. As business people, we tell ourselves that dishonesty is punished, but it is hard to find cases in which retaliation is swift and sure, even when wrong has clearly been done.
