I think that standard sort of reasoning is inadequate given the degree of corruption that is deeply evident in corporate behavior and the impact it has on basic lives.

For your explanation to be adequate, there would have to be such extreme indiosyncratic variation in the most common of human ethical standards relating to murder, sexual assault, gross scale bribery, child exploitation and many other issues that, from a cultural anthropology point of view, seem to yield a very highly correlated set of ethical norms across almost all of the developed world.

It just seems implausible compared with alternative explanations, like intentional large scale paychological manipulation.
