Unethical business practices operate in different countries to varying degrees and participate in economic processes.

For many entities, market participants, business partners and consumers, they generate additional costs.

They can also be a source of gray economy growth, including avoiding paying taxes.

Thus, there are social costs for individual entities and financial for the entire economy.

On the capital markets, one of unethical business practices is, for example, insider trading, ie the use of confidential information by decision-makers with access to confidential information used to conduct transactions to purchase or sell financial instruments, including securities or other securities or other capital markets.

In individual countries, there are various instruments to combat the use of unethical business practices, the shadow economy, etc.

The effectiveness of individual normative solutions, the scale of restrictions applied, and the business mentality of market participants, entrepreneurs and businessmen are different.

Another mentality is related to the level of awareness regarding corporate social responsibility.

In individual countries, social campaigns are carried out suggesting the legitimacy of developing concepts based on corporate social responsibility.

In view of the above, please answer the following question: Is unethical business practices a negative external effect of non-ideal market structures or imperfection of the social market economy?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.
