Endorsement of market economy with the prerequisite of disciplined pluralism and incentive compatibility.

Transactional and transformational employment. In market economies there is a need to make transactional employment more efficient.

Asymmetric information : not all have the same information.

Usually exposed to cases of incentive compatibility (those that have the incentive don’t have the information and those that have the information don’t have the incentive).

Asymmetric information can be dealt with regulation (eg. Government regulation) and self-regulation (eg. reputation).

Rich states are the product of centuries of coevolution of civil society, politics and economic institutions.

Market economy established disciplined pluralism and dealt with problems of incentive compatibility.

Discipline in the form of error recognition not punishment.

As soon as there is no pluralism and discipline (features which often occur in government), all efforts collapse.

Distinction between hedonism and happiness.

The crew that values the practice of fishing is more financially successful than the crew which is organised in pursuit of financial goals.

The purpose of market is the production of goods and services and profit is the means. Not the opposite !

To prevent corporate and political corruption is a matter of institutional design.

The difference between honest and corrupt public administration and business is not the result of difference of rules between them.

The integrity of an institution is the product of the values of those who work within it not only of its corporate governance.
