Well guys, I saw this article in businessweek and it's pretty interesting. Though it may be a little out there in some portions, it's relevance to the bigger picture is certainly worth reading in my opinion. Mr. Haque begins his own blog through Harvard by discussing the WikiLeaks that severely endangered the lives of many people, he seems to take a different spin on the subject. Haque considers that this void in confidentiality has to keep the American public wondering about what else they are missing. With this being said, in light of the irresponsibility of a few, many more could benefit from transparency in the corporate world. Haque brings up a good point about companies being audited once a year and putting out financials quarterly while millions of people around the world are making financial transactions in the interest of many of the worlds major companies daily.1
Though I personally feel that there is a bigger issue here, there certainly is some ethical reform that could make the corporate world more transparent. These changes in transparency could give the united states the upper hand in increasing the accuracy in GDP and even the ethical standards of the U.S. as an example to many economies around the world. Take a look at the article and see what you think. There seems to be quite a bit of spin on the topic in my opinion, but some of the information presented is very pertinent to any ethics discussion.
