Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the ethical issue in the case of the proposed Wal-Mart building in Petoskey, Michigan. According to the paper, the central ethical dilemma resolves around conflicting ethical principles with regard to business action. In this case, the conflict is between the central ethical tenet of economic theory - namely, that "profit maximization leads inexorably to the well-being of society" and the pragmatic objections to economic theory, which cite evidence that injurious practices (e.g., environmental damage) and the absence of competitive markets are often consequences of economic theory in practice .
