In the video, Dr. Armando de la Torre discusses the ethics of profit. He argues that the free market is not responsible for the current crisis, and that it is people's moral responsibility to take care of their own finances. He also argues that the government is responsible for its role in creating this crisis by providing easy access to credit to people who couldn't afford it, and by failing to regulate the banking industry.
This video discusses the ethical implications of profit-making. Dr. Armando de la Torre argues that, in a free society, people would be more likely to send their children to school if they had to work instead of being forced to work at home. He gives the example of Hong Kong, which was a British colony and was able to preserve its freedom despite being under British rule. In Hong Kong, an estimated 62% of the population was illiterate in 1946, but by 1996 the rate had dropped to 0.5%. The reason for this success is that Hong Kong had free markets and a free judiciary, both of which were absent in many other countries during the same time period. Dr. de la Torre concludes by arguing that, if we are to achieve a truly free society, we need to start with education.
