David’s insights into the relationship between government intervention and business ethics are particularly thought-provoking. He states, “The level of government intervention is inversely proportional to the level of virtue practiced in business.” This quote encapsulates a fundamental truth about the interplay between regulatory oversight and ethical business practices.
