So economy in the aggregate is in the midst of ethical collapse?
You can find numerous examples across institutions and industry that meet all these criteria.
1. Pressure to maintain numbers… line must go up economy.
2. Fear and silence… quiet quitting, workers keep going in while expressing fear in private
3. Young uns and bigger than life CEO… see tech, finance, academia, politics exploitation of naive grads
4. Weak board of directors… voters and workers are subservient to 1%
5. Conflicts of interest overlooked… why do so few have so much reach into all our lives?
6. Innovation like no other… US capitalism is unsurpassed! World cannot do without it!! Resell yesterday with faster chips and flatter design!! … metrics hacks line up!!
7. Goodness in some areas atones for evil in others… we are burning up the planet for the next generation but how about that iPhone 15, dick rockets into space, and those massive F350s!

This is not what that point means. “Goodness” isn’t referring to cool shit. It’s referring to doing good things.
Someone buys an F350 but then “offsets it” by donating money to a climate activist charity.
Yes, my thoughts were that all of these symptoms have become even more acute and obvious as time has gone on. This article from 2012 was probably only useful for scholarly purposes and high level debates between ethicists, but now even the commoners can see all of these issues glaring so clear and bright that this article is less useful and more the obvious being stated about what is constantly happening around us.
